This scientist built on the work of Wilhelm Roengten by using Crookes tubes to experiment with X-rays. With support from George Westinghouse, he advocated a substitute for the Edison-backed DC power transmission: (*) alternating current. This physicist gives his name to the SI unit of magnetic field. For 10 points, identify this scientist who built a high-current device that produces a plasma discharge called his namesake coil, a Serbian-American.
