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

What was the name of the jars that held the embaled organs?
The jar that a mummy's organs would be placed into was a jar called a canopic jar. It was made of stone or clay.
What intestines go inside the canopic jars?
There are four canopic jars: Imetsy, or the human jar, held the liver. Hapy, or the baboon jar, held the lungs. Duamutef, or the jackal jar, held the stomach. Qebehsenuef, or the falcon jar, held the intestines. Hope that helped. :-)
What is Leyden jar relationship to capacitors?
leyden jar was the first capacitor
What is a Leyden Jar used for?
The leyden Jars purpose is the first discovery of electricity!
What is the insulator in a Leyden Jar?
The insulator in a Leyden Jar is the glass or ceramic material that separates the inner and outer conductive layers. This insulator prevents the stored electric charge from flowing between the two layers, allowing the Leyden Jar to store electrical energy.
Where to buy a Leyden jar?
From E-Bay

Can a leyden jar power a 60 watt bulb?
It can only power a flash light!
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.

What is the birth name of Paul Leyden?
Paul Leyden's birth name is Paul Augustine Leyden.
Can static electricity be converted into current electricity?
Yes, but not directly. First you have to store the static electricity in a battery. One such device is called a Leyden jar, an early form of the capacitor invented in the 18th century. Once the jar has collected a charge, a bank of them can be wired together to provide a current. (In fact, this is where the term 'battery' came from; the row of Leyden jars reminded Ben Franklin of a similar arrangement of cannon on board a naval vessel.)
