Here is your assignment.
Find four objects in your immediate area that you suspect carry electrical charges. Use an electroscope that you create to test whether the objects are charged and determine the relative strength of the charges you find. Potential objects include your computer monitor, computer hard drive, computer peripherals such as speakers, current-carrying wires, light bulbs, or remote controls. You might even investigate if light bulbs and other devices are charged differently depending on whether they are on or off.
Discussion Prompt: Describe and discuss your observations of the four objects you tested with your electroscope.
