  2. Leyden jar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar

    A Leyden jar (or Leiden jar, or archaically, Kleistian jar) is an electrical component that stores a high-voltage electric charge (from an external source) between electrical conductors on the inside and outside of a glass jar. It typically consists of a glass jar with metal foil cemented to the inside and the outside surfaces, and a metal ...

  3. Franklin's electrostatic machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin's_electrostatic...

    Franklin's experiments with Leyden jars progressed to connecting several Leyden jars together in a series, with "one hanging on the tail of the other". All of the jars in the series could be charged simultaneously, which multiplied the electrical effect. [31] A similar apparatus had been created earlier by Daniel Gralath.

  4. Jar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jar_(unit)

    A jar was an early unit of capacitance once used by the British Royal Navy. [1] The term originated as the capacitance of a Leyden jar . Its value is such that one farad is 9 × 10 8 jars and one jar is 1111 picofarads.

  5. Franklin bells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_bells

    Franklin bells (also known as lightning bells) are an early demonstration of electric charge designed to work with a Leyden jar or a lightning rod. Franklin bells are only a qualitative indicator of electric charge and were used for simple demonstrations rather than research.

  6. Rudolf Kohlrausch - Wikipedia

    In 1854 Kohlrausch introduced the relaxation phenomena, and used the stretched exponential function to explain relaxation effects of a discharging Leyden jar (capacitor). [2] [3] In an 1855 experiment (published 1857) with Wilhelm Weber (1804–1891), he demonstrated that the ratio of electrostatic to electromagnetic units produced a number similar to the value of the speed of light, [4] a ...

  8. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    [32] [33] Franklin imagined electricity as being a type of invisible fluid present in all matter and coined the term charge itself (as well as battery and some others [34]); for example, he believed that it was the glass in a Leyden jar that held the accumulated charge. He posited that rubbing insulating surfaces together caused this fluid to ...
