Induced current
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
A Leyden jar holds a charge between its inner and outer metal parts, just like a capacitor holds a charge between two plates. Other options are incorrect because It is true that the jar uses an insulating layer, but that layer’s job is only to keep the charge from leaking; Many think a Leyden jar makes charge flow.

Definition
Capacitors store energy as electric field potential between conductors. Discharging a charged capacitor eliminates its stored energy. Observing no spark when shorting discharged capacitor plates demonstrates energy dissipation and charge flow principles.
