Eisco™ Leyden Jar

Description

Includes

Outer conductor with a hook and ball attached, inner conductor and Plastic dielectric jar, durable inner plate and directions

Requires

Charge source (Van de Graaff generator or Wimshurst machine), not included

Convenient for many electrostatic demonstrations.

Stores charges from an electrostatic generator.

• When charged, electricity is stored in the polarization of the dielectric jar
• Taking the jar apart leads to an apparent disappearance of the charge — none of the components seem to have it
• Reassembling the capacitor causes the charge to reappear — energy is stored in the dielectric jar
