Charge one foil and an equal and opposite charge gathers on the other. Ewald Georg von Kleist found the effect in 1745, and Pieter van Musschenbroek at Leiden independently in 1746, which is how it got its name. The jar's capacitance is how much charge it holds per volt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC = Q\/V\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC: capacitance (farad, F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ: charge on each foil, equal and opposite (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV: voltage between the foils (V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe energy stored is ½CV², and the sudden discharge of one was enough to give early experimenters a painful shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHonest caveat:\u003c\/em\u003e The charge sits on the foils, not in the glass; the glass only keeps them apart and raises C.
