You can find instructions for making an electroscope in several books.
The novel "Pulling Through" by Dean Ing contains an appendix that tells you how to make an electroscope (identical to the one the characters in his story used to measure radioactivity levels from nuclear fallout). I built one of these but found it very tricky (it is very difficult to avoid contamination that allows charge to leak from the plates and this will be true of any homemade electroscope).

An electroscope can be used to determine the charge of an object.
An electroscope would detect an electrical charge.
The different types of electroscopes are - i. Pith ball electroscope ii.Gold leaf electroscope iii. Needle electroscope
Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other this is the fundamental principle used in an electroscope to detect presence and amount of charge. There are mainly 2 tpes of electroscopes pith ball electroscope and gold leaf electroscope
...Guys...This is the answer of question...it simple! If we grounded the electroscope..whatever the charge on leaves are, positive or negative (as it depends with which charge you electrolyse the electroscope), if its positive and ground is negative (attraction) or if same + + so repultion
It indicates that the leaves of the electroscope have received a charge.
An electroscope is an instrument for detecting the presence of static electricity.
negative
The electroscope can't distinguish the two cases.

An electroscope is a device that detects and measures electricity. In experiments involving a pinball electroscope, the pith ball moves because of an induced charge.
