Find out if something is positively or negatively charged using just a DIY electroscope. This determines the sign of the electrostatic charge on an electrostatically charged object. The electroscope is first inductively charged from the object being tested. Then a plastic coke bottle is used as an object with known polarity in order to do the test and is triboelectrically charged.
