Also question is, when did Tesla invent the alternating current?

The Tesla coil, which he invented in 1891, is widely used today in radio and television sets and other electronic equipment. That year also marked the date of Tesla's U.S. citizenship. Westinghouse used Tesla's alternating current system to light the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893.

Also, did Tesla invent AC or DC? In the late 19th century, three brilliant inventors, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, battled over which electricity system—direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC)–would become standard. Tesla quit his job in 1885 and a few years later received a number of patents for his AC technology.

Similarly one may ask, who invented alternating current?

Nikola Tesla Ottó Bláthy

How did Tesla discovered alternating current?

AC was known before Tesla began his work. But the inventor devised an integrated system of generators, transmission lines, motors, lighting and other circuitry that made AC a feasible alternative to DC. In 1887, Tesla filed for seven patents related to his AC inventions.
