Beccaria had almost stumbled on a lead to the relationship between electricity and magnetism when a discharge from a Leyden jar was sent transversally through a piece of watch-spring steel making its ends magnetic.

He also explained the apparently paradoxical behavior of the Leyden jar as a device for storing large amounts of electrical charge.

The capacitor is a development of the Leyden jar and is a device capable of storing charge, and thereby storing electrical energy in the resulting field.

Franklin imagined electricity as being a type of invisible fluid present in all matter ; for example, he believed that it was the glass in a Leyden jar that held the accumulated charge.

A Leyden jar, or Leiden jar, is a device that " stores " static electricity between two electrodes on the inside and outside of a glass jar.

The Leyden jar provided a much more compact alternative.

The idea for the Leyden jar was discovered independently by two parties: German scientist and jurist Ewald Georg von Kleist, and Dutchmen Musschenbroek and Cunaeus.

Musschenbroek communicated on it with the French scientific community where it was called the Leyden jar.

By the middle of the 19th century, the Leyden jar had become common enough for writers to assume their readers knew of and understood its basic operation.

By the early 20th century, improved dielectrics and the need to reduce their size and inductance for use in the new technology of radio caused the Leyden jar to evolve into the modern compact form of capacitor.

Leyden jar construction.

A typical Leyden jar of one pint size has a capacitance of about 1 nF.

" Dissectible " Leyden jar, 1876

Franklin designed a " dissectible " Leyden jar, which was widely used in demonstrations.

However, this phenomenon is a special effect caused by the high voltage on the Leyden jar. In the dissectible Leyden jar, charge is transferred to the surface of the glass cup by corona discharge when the jar is disassembled ; this is the source of the residual charge after the jar is reassembled.

Lucas van Leyden was the only Northern European engraver to successfully continue to produce large engravings in the first third of the century.

It was invented independently by German cleric Ewald Georg von Kleist on 11 October 1745 and by Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek of Leiden ( Leyden ) in 1745 – 1746.

It was initially believed that the charge was stored in the water in early Leyden jars.

Even with a license, Bargrave was prohibited from carrying any books, " printed at any heretical city, as Geneva, Amsterdam, Leyden, London, or the like ".

The first electrical storage device was invented in 1745, the so-called " Leyden jar ", and in 1749, Benjamin Franklin ( 1706 – 1790 ) demonstrated that lightning was electricity.

Hertz had been surprised to find that it was not necessary to discharge large batteries through one of these spirals in order to obtain sparks in the other ; that small Leyden jars amply sufficed for this purpose, and that even the discharge of a small induction coil would do, provided it had to spring across a spark gap.

* 1745: The Leyden jar invented by Ewald Georg von Kleist was the first electrical capacitor

** The Leyden jar, a capacitor made from a glass jar, was invented here by Pieter van Musschenbroek in 1746.

It was actually first invented by Ewald Georg von Kleist the year before, but the name " Leyden jar " stuck.

Croghan was adopted in 1841, Denmark was in 1807, Diana in 1830, Greig 1828, Harrisburg 1803, Highmarket 1852, Lewis 1852, Leyden 1797, Lowville 1800, Martinsburg 1803, Montague 1850, New Bremen 1848, Osceola 1844, Pinckney 1808, Turin 1800, Watson 1821, and West Turin in 1830.

The original capacitor was the Leyden jar developed in the 18th century.

In this branch of his practice, Matsys was greatly influenced by his contemporaries Lucas van Leyden and Jan Mabuse.

In his younger time he went over into the low countries, and was a soldier there, and came acquainted with the church at Leyden, and came over into New England, with such of them as at the first set out for the planting of the plantation of New Plimouth, and bare a deep share of their first difficulties, and was always very faithful to their interest.

Bernardston was first settled in 1738 as a part of " Fall Town ", which also included Colrain and Leyden.

A song composed for the occasion used the word Pilgrims, and the participants drank a toast to " The Pilgrims of Leyden.

" Love Is the $ 64, 000 Question " ( 1956 ), which used the show's theme music by Norman F. Leyden with added Fred Ebb lyrics, was recorded by Hal March ( Columbia 40684 ), Karen Chandler ( Decca 29881 ), Jim Lowe ( Dot 15456 ) and Tony Travis ( RCA Victor 47-6476 ).

Many emblematic works borrowed plates or texts ( or both ) from earlier exemplars, as was the case with Geoffrey Whitney's Choice of Emblemes, a compilation which chiefly used the resources of the Plantin Press in Leyden.

Kaup was very impressed by his abilities and when he went to Leyden for a meeting he took one of Wolf's sketchbooks and showed them to Hermann Schlegel at the Natural History Museum, Leiden who immediately commissioned him to work on some plates to be used in Traite de Fauconnerie.

West Leyden did not make Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievements Examination, which with the ACT comprises the state assessments used to fulfill the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

In the 1960s and 70s, it used the moniker " The Station of the Stars " and featured a number of notable DJs, including Dick Whittinghill, Robert W. Morgan, Bob Arbogast, Geoff Edwards, Ira Cook, Roger Carroll, Johnny Grant, Wink Martindale, Jim Lange, Bill Leyden, Gary Owens, Johnny Magnus, Kathy Gori, Sonny Melendrez, Dave Hull and Vance Graham.

Eventually Scott returns to the carriage with the young prince, after spotting more heliograph signals used by the rebels, showing they've been waiting for them again, but they are saved as Van Leyden is knocked off balance at the crucial moment.

A Leyden ball is a fictional bullet used in the nineteenth century Jules Verne science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

East Leyden did not make Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievements Examination, which with the ACT comprises the state assessments used to fulfill the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

" For these & other reasons they removed to Leyden, a fair & bewtifull citie, and of a sweete situation, but made more famous by ye universitie wherwith it is adorned, in which of late had been so many learned man.

The area is known for its many dairy products, which includes prominent cheeses such as Gouda, Leyden ( spiced cheese with cumin ), Edam ( traditionally in small spheres ) as well as Leerdammer and Beemster, while the adjacent Zaanstreek in North Holland is known for its mayonnaise and mustards.

This leads to many problems for van Leyden and his wife ( Googie Withers ) when everyone sees them as collaborators.
