Episode of Series “Electrical Induction and Capacity”.
A brief summary of facts on electrostatics is followed by a demonstration of experiments with the Leyden jar; explanation of phenomenon in terms of build-up of charge; electroscope measurements when two charged plates are moved in relation to one another and when the dielectric is changed; capacitor or condensor factors affecting capacity; examples of capacitors at work.
