Tie the unknown object and an object with a known charge to separate strings. Hold the two objects up by the strings, and bring them near each other. If the objects repel it means that the unknown object has the same charge as the known object. If they attract it means the unknown object has an opposite charge as the known object.

An unknown material is rubbed with silk and becomes charged Explain how you could use a negative acetate strip or a positive glass rod to determine the type of charge on the unknown material?

If you move the material near the negative acetate strip and they repel each other, the material negatively charged. If they move towards each other, it is positively charged. If you move the material near the positive rod and they attract, the material is negatively charged. If they repel, it is positively charged. This is because opposite charges attract and same charges repel.
