Leyden Jar for EISCO Labs Users

The Leyden Jar, the first device capable of storing an electric charge, was invented by a German, Ewald G. von Kleist, on November 4, 1745. Kliest made the discovery by accident while experimenting with electricity, as he touched his electric generator to a nail stuck into a medicine bottle through the cork and later received a great shock by touching the nail. Although he did not understand how it worked, he had discovered that the nail and the jar were capable of temporarily storing electrons, which we now call a capacitor.

Eisco Labs' Leyden Jar is designed for classroom demonstrations, and it comes with a durable inner and outer plate, a plastic dielectric, and instructions. The inner plate has a hook and ball attached, making it easy to charge. This equipment can be used to duplicate many classic static electricity experiments, allowing students to learn about static electricity and the function of a dielectric with this unique device.

The Leyden Jar is a valuable tool for studying and performing different activities relating to static electricity. Eisco's Leyden Jar measures 8" tall and is 3" in diameter. The apparatus consists of a metal cup (outer plate), an insulating plastic cup (dielectric), and a smaller metal cup with a hook and metal ball (inner plate).

Shock your students again and again with this Leyden Jar. You probably shouldn't actually shock your students, but this device is an excellent tool for learning about static electricity. The Leyden Jar is used in every form of electronic equipment, and it is a classic device that has been used for centuries to study and demonstrate the principles of static electricity.

In conclusion, the Leyden Jar is a fascinating and versatile device that can be used in the classroom to engage students and help them understand the fundamental concepts of static electricity. With its durable construction and easy-to-use design, the Eisco Labs Leyden Jar is an excellent choice for educators and students alike.
