An electroscope is an early scientific instrument. It is used to detect and measure electricity or an electric charge on a body.
Attraction and repulsion, in physics means, is when two objects attract and repel one another. For example, an When a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with negatively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. Same goes for when a positively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. But if a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will attract. Kind of like opposites attract, and likeness repels.

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
