1. LEYDEN JAR 2. The bottle of Leiden is a simple widget that can hold static electricity is largequantities. It was invented by Ewald Georg von Kleist 1745. The invention was usedto perform many experiments with electricity at the time, his discovery a was ofparamount importance to the study of electricity by providing researches with amost convenient, compact and easy to store electrical charge. 3. DescriptionIts a top electrode electrically connected by somemeans a metal plate that bears part of the inner surfaceof the glass bottle. A conductive layer surrounds theoutside of the cylinder coinciding with the areaoccupied by the blade inside. The original form was aglass bottle partially filled with water with a metal wirepassing through a cork that covered. The role that theouter layer was replaced by the hand of theexperimenter. He soon found that it was better coverthe outside with a metal plate. 4. This is thedesign: 5. Benjamin Franklin studied at Leiden bottle and came tothe conclusion that the charge was stored on the glassand the water. We now know that none of the twotheories was correct, but the charge stored cars, butonly in a thin layer over the surface that is in contactwith the glass 6. ConclusionWas an invention that helped improve all electronics in reaching today.
