ఎలక్ట్రాన్
ఎలక్ట్రాన్ అనునది పరమాణువులోని ఒక మౌలిక కణం. ఇది కేంద్రకం చుట్టూ స్థిరకక్ష్య లలో తిరుగుతుంది. ఇది ఋణ విద్యుదావేశాన్ని కలిగి ఉంటుంది. దీని ద్రవ్యరాశి ప్రోటాన్ యొక్క ద్రవ్యరాశిలో 1836 వంతు ఉంటుంది. తటస్థ పరమాణువులోని కేంద్రకం లోని ప్రోటాన్ల సంఖ్యకు ఎలక్ట్రాన్ల సంఖ్య సమానంగా ఉంటుంది. దీనిని 1897 లో జె.జె.ధామ్సన్ కనుగొన్నాడు. ఎలక్ట్రాన్ కు ఆ పేరు పెట్టిన శాస్త్ర వేత్త జి.జె.స్టనీ. దీని ఆవేశము −1.602×10−19 కులూంబులు.

When Tesla was 36 years old, the first patents concerning the polyphase power system were granted. He continued research of the system and rotating magnetic field principles. It is curious that Nikola Tesla, a pioneer of AC systems, was born approximately 100km north of Šibenik where the first power plant in Croatia was constructed. It may be a coincidence that in May 1892, Tesla held a lecture on alternating systems in the City Hall of Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) at the time of the beginning of the preparations to construct the Jaruga I hydroelectric power plant.[57] Tesla served, from 1892 to 1894, as the vice president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the forerunner (along with the Institute of Radio Engineers) of the modern-day IEEE. From 1893 to 1895, he investigated high frequency alternating currents. He generated AC of one million volts using a conical Tesla coil and investigated the skin effect in conductors, designed tuned circuits, invented a machine for inducing sleep, cordless gas discharge lamps, and transmitted electromagnetic energy without wires, building the first radio transmitter. In St. Louis, Missouri, Tesla made a demonstration related to radio communication in 1893. Addressing the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the National Electric Light Association, he described and demonstrated in detail its principles. Tesla's demonstrations were written about widely through various media outlets. Tesla also investigated harvesting energy that is present throughout space. He believed that it was just merely a question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature, stating:
