Who is the father of alternating current?

Nikola tesla.

Nikola tesla (1July, 856 10 ~ 19431October 7) was an American Serb inventor, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer. He is regarded as one of the important promoters of power commercialization and is famous for presiding over the design of modern communication systems.

Based on the electromagnetic field theory discovered by michael faraday, Tesla has made many revolutionary inventions in the field of electromagnetic field. Many of his related patents and theoretical research work in electromagnetism are the cornerstones of modern wireless communication and radio.

Extended data:

The most basic form of alternating current is sinusoidal current. When electromagnetic induction was discovered, the method of generating alternating current was discovered. The early products were developed by nikola tesla, michael faraday and Park Jungsu Pixar. Among them, Bopu Rongsu Pixii made the first AC motor according to Michael Faraday's principle in 1832.

1882, British electrician James Gordon built a large two-phase alternator. William thomson and Sebastian Ferranti, Barons of Kelvin, developed early alternators with frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 300 Hz.

189 1 year, nikola tesla obtained the patent of "high frequency" (15000Hz) alternator.

189 1 year later, power supply will be provided by multiphase alternator. Thereafter, the AC frequency of the alternator is usually designed between 16 Hz and 100 Hz, and it is used in conjunction with arc lamps, incandescent lamps or motors.
