HISTORYHISTORY In October 1745, In October 1745, Ewald Georg von KleistEwald Georg von Kleist of of
PomeraniaPomerania in in GermanyGermany invented the first invented the first recorded capacitor: a glass jar with water inside recorded capacitor: a glass jar with water inside as one plate was held on the hand as the other as one plate was held on the hand as the other plate. A wire in the mouth of the bottle received plate. A wire in the mouth of the bottle received charge from an electric machine, and released it charge from an electric machine, and released it as a spark.as a spark.

In the same year, Dutch physicist In the same year, Dutch physicist Pieter van MusschenbroekPieter van Musschenbroek independently independently invented a very similar capacitor. It was named invented a very similar capacitor. It was named the the Leyden jarLeyden jar, after the , after the University of LeydenUniversity of Leyden where van Musschenbroek worked. where van Musschenbroek worked. Daniel GralathDaniel Gralath was the first to combine several was the first to combine several jars in parallel into a "battery" to increase the jars in parallel into a "battery" to increase the charge storage capacity.charge storage capacity.

Theory of operation.Theory of operation.
A capacitor consists of two conductive electrodes, or plates, separated by a dielectric, which prevents charge from moving directly between the plates. Charge may however move from one plate to the other through an external circuit, such as a battery connected between the terminals.
