We explore how static electricity can be stored using a Leyden jar and what happens when we discharge a large stored voltage. The equipment we make in this video will be used for a number of experiments to study static electricity.
The experiment explored in this video has high voltages involved and can give you a nasty shock so be careful if repeating and don't touch the nail at the top of the bottle until you have completely discharged the bottle.
If you would like to follow along with the experiment and build a Leyden jar you will need:
a pvc pipe/tube,
a cloth,
a bottle,
some kitchen foil,
some insulating or masking tape,
two metal nails,
a paperclip,
two wires with crocodile clips on either end,
some salt and some water.
Thank you so much for watching.
