Title: The Tesla Coil as an Educational Tool: Unveiling High-Voltage Phenomena in Power Electronics Education
Keywords: Converters, Experiments, High voltage, Power Electronics Education, Tesla CoilAbstract: This paper explores the Tesla Tower, also known as the Tesla coil, an electrical resonant transformer circuit developed by Nikola Tesla in the late 19th century. Designed to produce high-voltage, low-current electricity, the Tesla coil is capable of generating impressive electrical discharges that resemble lightning. The system operates on principles of electromagnetic induction, using a primary and secondary coil to amplify voltage without physical connections. Applications of the Tesla coil span from educational demonstrations and scientific experiments to unique uses in music, entertainment, and plasma technologies. This work highlights the Tesla coil's enduring relevance in scientific and artistic fields, as well as its contributions to understanding high-voltage electrical phenomena. References - B. D.
