Why did thomas Edison invent the electric chair?

Thomas Edison didn't actually invent the electric chair but, paid Harold P. Brown to. It was invented because Thomas Edison's competitor Nikola Tesla had AC electricty (Edison had DC) and AC was cheaper but, more dangerous. Thomas Edison wanted people to know this (so more people would choose his over Tesla's) so he had it made and electrocuted William Kemmler (who had chopped up his wife and was sent to perison). this was called the war of currents


How did thomas Edison get along with Nikola Tesla?

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla had a professional rivalry. Edison favored direct current (DC) electricity while Tesla championed alternating current (AC) technology. This led to conflict between them, especially during the "war of the currents." Despite this, they both respected each other's work and contributions to science and technology.
