Question

What is Leyden Jar made up of and how does it work??

Answer 1

The Leyden jar is a cylindrical container made of a dielectric (an insulator, like plastic or glass) with a layer of metal foil on the inside and on the outside. With the outside surface grounded, a charge is given to the inside surface. This gives the outside an equal but opposite charge

Answer 2

Answer:

So our Leyden jar is made up of a glass jar, which insulates our two conductors. The conductors themselves are in the form of thin sheets tin foil, one wrapped around the outside of the jar, the other lining the inside. Inside the jar hangs a metal chain. ... We will use a voltaic pile (unseen) to charge our jar.
