GERMANY. HE DISCOVERED THAT CHARGE COULD BE STORED BY CONNECTING A
LEYDEN JAR (A GLASS JAR LINED WITH METAL FOIL) TO A HIGH-VOLTAGE
SOURCE. THIS EARLY CAPACITOR HELD ITS CHARGE EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING
THE SOURCESEEMINGLY "TRAPPING" ELECTRICITY. IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
DEVICES CAPABLE OF STORING ELECTRICAL ENERGY, AND IT'S NOW USED IN
VIRTUALLY EVERY ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT FOR FUNCTIONS LIKE ENERGY STORAGE,
FILTERING, AND TIMING.
