How long did Nikola Tesla work when Thomas Edison?
Long enough to see what kind of person he was. -0- "If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search.

Who developed the alternating current?
1884 Nikola Tesla invented the electric alternator, an electric generator that produces alternating current (AC). Until this time electricity had been generated using direct current (DC) from batteries. AC electrical systems are better for sending electricity over long distances as DC can only travel 5 miles at best.
When did Nikola Tesla invent better electricity than the one Thomas Edison invented?
Tesla moved to the United States in 1884. When he arrived, he worked as an assistant to Thomas Edison, then in his late 30's. Edison had just invented the electric light bulb, but he needed a system to distribute electricity to houses. He designed a DC (direct current) system, but it had many bugs in it. Edison promised Tesla lots of money in bonuses if he could get the bugs out. Tesla took the challenge and ended up saving Edison over $100,000, which was millions of dollars by today's standards. Edison later refused to keep his promise. Tesla quit not long after that, and Edison spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Tesla which is the main reason why he is so unknown today. Edison was envious of him and instead of working a relatioship and working with him, the rest is known.
Which form of electrical current was favored by Edison?
Thomas Edison favored and promoted DC current. He claimed it was safer than AC. However it was almost impossible to send DC current over a long distance so AC became the standard for the world.
