ItsBS | Electron Theory can't explain Capacitors, but Ben Franklin can! @itsbs | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 15 hours ago
Benjamin Franklin discovered that the electrical energy is stored in the glass of a Leiden Jar capacitor -- He was correct. Modern Physics uses electron theory to describe how capacitors store energy and it is wrong! This video demonstrates an experiment to show how you can prove that to yourself.
