Re: Tesla is a unit of measure for the strength of magnetic fields
Other measures for magnetic field strength are the Weber and the Gauss. That's pretty much all you learn about the man in university.
I wouldn't buy the book "The Inventions Researches & Writings of Nicola Tesla". It's crap. It's not even coherent. It's like someone slapped together a bunch of technical scribblings that in reality make no sense whatsoever, and published it with a famous name on the cover. A short biography would make more sense. Hell, a website about Tesla would make more sense, and you can get that for free!
this one is better than the book
