P1: Good morning, we are the representatives from Grade 10 St.

Bartholomew
P2:We are going to present our science exhibit which is the Tesla Coil, but before that lets have a short
background about the Tesla Coil.
P1:Who is the inventor of the tesla coil?
P2: Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best
known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system.
Tesla invented hundreds of technologies that play big parts in our daily lives -- like the remote control, neon
and fluorescent lights, wireless transmission, computers, smartphones, laser beams, x-rays, robotics and, of
course, alternating current, the basis of our present.
P1: Are you familiar with the Tesla car company owned by the richest man in the world which is Elon Musk.?
P2: The company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla and one of the famous
invention of nikola tesla is the tesla coil.
P1: How did nikola tesla came up with the tesla coil?
P2: Nikola Tesla wanted to create the way to supply power without stringing wires. He almost accomplished
his goal when his experiment led him to creation of the Tesla coil. It was the first system that could wirelessly
transmit electricity
P1: What is tesla coil?
P2: A tesla coil is a resonant transformer that creates a high-voltage, low-current high-frequency alternating
current.
P1: What are the materials used in tesla coil?
P2: 1. Transistor-A transistor basically acts as a switch and an amplifier. In simple words, we can say that a
transistor is a device that is used to control or regulate the flow of electrical signals.
2. Resistor- is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic
circuit
3. Primary coil- 250 turns of wire
4- Secondary coil- 5 turns of wire(antennas wire)
5. Battery- source of power
6. Incandescent light
P1: How does it work?
P2: A fluorescent light bulb held near a Tesla coil will light up and spark, even without being plugged in. The
Tesla coil creates an electric field that pushes electrons through the light bulb.
An electric field is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other
charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system
of charged particles.
