    I understand the Liden Jar like this:
    The strong E field between the two conducting bottels creates some corona distrages, so charges go on the dielectric "bottel".
    Then wenn you discharges the conducting bottels and put everything back together, the charge on the dieletric bottel (different sign inside and outside) creates a potential difference between the two conducting bottels and thus, wenn you shortcut them, it creates a spark :)

      There are two cylinders(that previusly I called plates) made of copper ,
      1) when the cylinderes are been charged, some of the charge go to the base (I dont know what material it is) so after discharging the cylinders , the charge that was in the base is returned to the cylinders, so can be a potencial diference between the cilinders.
      or maybe
      2) When the cylinders are been charged, it creates a magnetic field inside the glass, so the atoms in the glass line up with the magnetid field, and when the cylinders are without charge, the magnetid field that is in the glass makes in any way I dont know charged the cylinders again.
      or maybe.
      3)Everything is discharged ; but when putting back the second cylinder there is friction, some of the charge go to the glass and the other charged its in the the cylinder inside, so when putting near the "promp" the charge the was in the cylinder inside the glass it travels to the "promp" so it discharge it. (I dont know what it name is of the "promp" (I´m spanish speaker))

    I was making small videos demonstrating electrostatic charges produced by rubbing different materials. Glass rubbed with silk is supposed to produce an opposite charge on glass than that produced on ebonite/PVC when rubbed by fur/wool. I used two pieces of glass - one made of borosilicate glass, another made of ordinary soda lime glass. The ordinary glass when rubbed with silk cloth was getting attracted to both PVC rubbed with fur, and ALSO to boro glass rubbed with silk....I was scratching my head for a while. Then I realised that the rubbed piece of plain glass was not getting any significant charge (as shown by a pith ball electroscope). It was not charged, it was just showing the dielectric response of getting attracted to both the +ve and the -ve charged object nearby... it was the first time I got to see the dielectric effect of glass, practically. Seeing fine bits of paper flying towards a charged ebonite rod is one thing, seeing a 6 inch long (uncharged) glass strip rotating to follow the ebonite rod is another thing......tributes to all the scientists of 400 years back who had to patiently tease apart the confounding factors to distill Gauss' law out of their experiences in the lab 😊

    Hello sir that was a very wonderful lecture and I am very thankful to you for making the concepts comprehensible......
    And also, Greetings from India.....
    I have a possible explanation for the results seen in the demonstration of the Leyden jar, ( time stamp 40:25 )......
    My explanation is as follows....
    It could be possible that when you charged the conducting cylinders (thereby making a charged capacitor), the molecules in the glass beaker became induced dipoles......
    And when you disassembled the jar setup, the dipoles held on to the charge somehow (I still can't make a clear explanation as to how that occurred, since it was induce)..…
    And after discharging the metallic conducting cylinders, and putting them back around the glass (which was holding on to the charges it aquired through the induced dipole), when you connected the two metal cylinders, the dipole charges got a pathway to discharge themselves, going through the metal cylinders and through that device you used to connect the 2 cylinders, which completes the circuit pathway, thus causing the spark, which was actually the induced dipoles getting discharged......
    Can this be a possible explanation?
    And once again, thank you for such an amazing lecture and a lot of greetings from India.....(I m in 11th standard, by the way, and I still understand mostly all that you teach in the first time........)

    spark between two conductors is due to alignment of dipole in the glass hence +ve side of insulator attract negative charge. nd -ve side of insulator attracts positive charge of conductor. Hence two conductors charged again by the property of insulator i.e dielectric.

    I think maybe charging the plates in the Leiden jar induces a dipole in the glass that stays in the glass when you remove the plates. When you put the plates back they are themselves polarized and because the top of the jar is open, the electric fields don't cancel and a voltage is generated

    The spark between the glass beaker and the copper cylinders experiment may be due polarization of glass. Since glass is an insulator, electric dipoles remain somewhat alligned even after the removal of external electric field. When you reassemble the whole thing, the dipoles induce charges on the metallic beaker which causes spark when shorted.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not correct.
      All capacitors have dielectrics. When you discharge a capacitor INSTANTANEOUSLY all induced charge on the dielectric disappears. Something else is at work here.

  • @dylanhaymore608
    @dylanhaymore608 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Leyden jar experiment is particularly interesting in the sense that the parts that you think should retain the charge actually do not once it is dissected. The glass jar is prone to holding water molecules from the air on the surface and thus the charge from the capacitor is transferred to the surface of the glass jar via coronal discharge when the system is pulled apart. The charge is then able to be discharged through the conductors when the parts are put back together.

    When capacitor was charged, the dipole is created inside glass, while disassembling the device the induced charge on plates got fade away but the free charge dipole of glass was as it was as before so when the device is reassembled the created dipole again induce charge but less in quantity compared to before in the device, now the plates are charged again, hence you can still use the capacitor but with less energy than before.

  • @maneeshkumar1725
    @maneeshkumar1725 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    prof., in your fourth experiment, you said that in order to compensate for the E field induced in the dielectric, we must add more charge on the plates - so when the dielectric is placed more charge flows onto the plates. but doesn't more charge on the plates mean that the dielectric is polarized more and the opposing electric field is stronger? which in turn requires us to put more charge on the plates? I hope you understand my question.

  • @yuwang6549
    @yuwang6549 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a guess on your demonstration of Leyden Jar and it might have something to do with the metal fork tool you have on your hand: When you remove the inner plates you attach the metal fork to it -> some charges go to the metal fork; Then during the disassembling you again attach the metal fork to the outer plate, it might neutralize some charges on the metal plates but it gains some opposite charges. When you assemble the jar, you used metal fork to attach the inner plate therefore charging the inner plate -> now the jar gains energy again! The reason why I think so is that I noticed that your metal fork has a glass handle therefore cannot be discharged.

    Just putting my prediction here while I continue the course. The Leyden jar stores the charge on the glass. In a demonstration with Franklin's Bells you can induce a charge THROUGH glass likely for the same reason. Charge is provided to one side, attracts charge from the other. This is why Q is increased with a dielectric, its stored on the surface of it.

    14:40 I think I may have an other unenlightenment about why the potential difference ΔV between the two plate is growing as we are growing up the gap between them :
    As you say at 14:29, E = σ/𝛆₀ , so E is a constant at each point between the two plates, if we grow up the gap, E must remains the same, and since E⃗ = - ∇⃗V and ΔV= ||- ∇⃗V||·d , ΔV between the plate 1 and the plate 2 is getting bigger as d is growing.

    My guess for the Leiden jar is that the dielectric is kept polarized and when the conductors are placed again, a surface charge will be induced on them. The top part of the top jar will be +, and bottom part of bottom jar -. Then, joining these to faces with the "wire" will cause a discharge.

    The Mystery With the Leyden Jar.
    I have an explanation.
    The dielectric inbetween has dipoles randomnly aligned. So, when Prof. Walter Lewin charged the plates, they aligned and for that dipoles to be aligned, the electric field does work which is stored as potential energy in the dielectric. Although he disassembles and discharges the plates, the dipoles still remained aligned (he didn't disturb the bottom part of the dielectric). So, when he reassembles that discharged plates, it is the charge density in the dielectric that creates spark. My guess is that, if he hammers or does any physical change to the dielectric while that period, then energy mustn't be left.
    Although he left the dielectric down, some may think charge might've flown. But the table is wood!
    Prove me, if I am wrong or right.

    Hello, Prof.Lewin, at 44:26(you say we do positive work), if there is no E field inside the Van de Graaff sphere, what force is repelling us to bring the charge inside the sphere? Thanks.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      there are 2 issues here. 1. energy is needed to place charge on the belt 2. energy is needed to rotate the belt. 3 There is E-field between the belt and the metal "comb" *inside the dome* which removes the charge from the belt

    • @liangchen3605
      @liangchen3605 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So does this mean the mechanical energy used to rotate the belt is partially converted to the electric potential energy of the charge near the metal comb inside the dome? what I am thinking is something like lifting up a ball, where the work done by us against the gravity is converted to potential energy of the ball. I don't know if there is any similarity between these examples. On the Wikipedia page, it says "The larger the sphere and the farther it is from ground, the higher will be its peak potential". So I think the gravitational PE is related the electrical PE for the Van de Graaff generator. Is this correct? Sorry about this long message. And thanks again for the quick reply.

    Hello Dr. Lewin, at 18:30 you put the 7mm glass between the two plates and then take it out, there is expected to see no current through the amp meter, but I see the amp meter moved a little bit when the edge of the glass is going in and out of the area between the two plates. In addition, the amp meter goes towards two different ways when the glass is put in and taken out. Would you please explain this? THANK YOU.

      Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics. I do see a tiny bit movement about the amp meter too. I think it may caused by the creation of the induced electric field which has opposite direction and creates a temporary weak current going through the amp. May I have your opinion sir?

      @@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Thank you very much for responding and sorry for the unclear question I had. Actually, what I was referring to is the following: you examined your own Van de Graaff with a paint can and measured its voltage using a voltmeter as you were accumulating charges on the paint can. To measure the electric potential difference of two points, I think we need to connect both probes of the voltmeter to the two points. But what I was seeing in the lecture video was that one of the probes of the voltmeter was hanging on the air, close to the paint can, assuming the other probe is grounded (Maybe I don't see it well, though). Is that how should it be?
