Cause and Effect

Ewald Georg von Kleist connected a generator by a wire to a volume of water. He used his hand and the water as conductors and the jar as a dielectric. The absence of the generator from the wire resulted a spark when touching it. A Dutch Physicist appeared because of Georg's discovery and created a same capacitor named Leyden Jar. By the following year, because of the Leyden Jar's existence, Daniel Gralath became the first to combine several jars in parallel in to a battery that resulted to an increase in the storage capacity.
