The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor

Alessandro Volta was an Italian physicist (1745 - 1827) who invented the first electric battery (also known as the voltaic pile battery) in 1799. His work is still remembered today through the use of his family name Volta, which is used in the electrical term Volt.
Ewald Georg von Kleist in 1745, although he didn't 'discover' the capacitor, he 'invented' it
The capacitor was invented, or discovered; in October 1745 by Ewald Georg von Kleist. In 1746 Pieter van Musschenbroek created the first Leyden Jar (an early type of capacitor). Argument continues today as to 'who' did it first, etc.
My guess is that the first capacitor that was constructed to hold an electrical charge was the Leyden Jar. It was invented in 1745 by Ewald Georg von Kleist, Jean-Antoine Nollet, and Pieter van Musschenbroek. As the name implies, it is a glass jar that can hold static electricity for long periods. It was actually invented by accident, the inventors didn't set out to create it.

The first capacitor was the Leyden jar, invented independently in the mid-1740s by both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek.

Alesandro Volta invented the first battery.The first actual battery was invented by a man in Italy named Alessandro Volta in 1800. Volta was a physicist who was born in February of 1745 and died on March 5, 1827.
