Yes, you can charge a leydon jar with a 9V battery. After all, a leydon jar is just a capacitor. A typical leydon jar is about 1nF, so you would not be able to do much with a potential difference of only 9V.

If you charged a leydon jar with a 9v battery and touched both terminals to your tongue would you feel it?

Probably not. A typical 1 pint leydon jar only has about 1nF of capacitance, and it would discharge far too fast for you to feel it.

How do you measure charge in a leyden jar?

To measure the charge in a Leyden jar, you can use a high-voltage ammeter or a sensitive electrometer connected to the jar's terminals. By discharging the jar through the measuring device, you can determine the current and the time it takes for the discharge, allowing you to calculate the total charge using the formula ( Q = I \times t ), where ( Q ) is the charge, ( I ) is the current, and ( t ) is the discharge time. Additionally, you could measure the voltage across the jar and use the capacitance of the jar to find the charge using the formula ( Q = C \times V ), where ( C ) is the capacitance and ( V ) is the voltage.

How much work does 9V do in moving 8.5x1018 electrons?

The work done by a voltage source (9V) in moving electrons is calculated by multiplying the voltage by the number of electrons and the charge of a single electron (1.6x10^-19 C). Therefore, the work done in this case would be 9V * 8.5x10^18 * 1.6x10^-19 C = 1.224 J.

I charged a homemade capacitor with a 9v you touched your tongue to the capacitor and you got no charge?

In order to feel 9V on your tongue, you need enough current, for enough time, for your brain to recognize the current.Homemade capacitors tend to be rather low in capacitance. The resistance of your tongue might then discharge the capacitor rather quickly, and you might not notice the voltage before it goes to zero. Try this with a large capacitor, such as a few hundred microfarads and see what happens. Please do not charge the capacitor to more than 9V - you do not want to hurt yourself!


Can you use a 9v 300mA adapter on a 9v 200mA device?

No. The adaptor will overheat.
