3. Petrus van Musschenbroek Invented 1746 in Leyden, Holland

4. Leyden jar - an instrument used to hold or store an electrical charge

5. MINI LEYDEN JAR Add water to Leyden Jar

6. NEUTRAL MINI LEYDEN JAR -+-+ -+-+-+-+ -+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- + - + - +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

7. MINI LEYDEN JAR Electrons from ElectrophorusNail conducts electrons to water Water Strongly Negative!!

8. MINI LEYDEN JAR Plastic becomes dipolar as electrons repel from negative water

9. MINI LEYDEN JAR ++ + + + + + + + +++ Foil becomes positive as electrons are grounded through you

10. MINI LEYDEN JAR ++ + + + + + + + +++ Electrons travel from Nail to Foil through you
