The inner and outer surface of a glass jar is covered with an electrical conductor. If one connects the internal conductor with an electrostatic generator, the conductor is charged. In this way it is possible for the first time to accumulate and transport electric charges. Text__4kaGsKOdEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_title=How does the Leyden Jar Work?
