Re: Residual charge left on caps



Original poster: "Dr. Resonance" <resonance-at-jvlnet-dot-com> 


A classic capacitor physics experiment.  Charge a Leyden jar.  Remove the
plates completely and short them both together and to ground.  Reassemble
the jar and it delivers it's normal spark.  Charge is stored in the
dielectric.  The effect of the plates are completely eliminated in this
experiment.
