Answer: Electroscope can measure the amount and type of charge.

Explanation: Electroscope is a scientific instrument which is detect the charge on the object. its explains weather the object charged or not.

We use a gold-leaf electroscope when an object brought near a plate then we test the presence of the charge of the object if the object is charged then gold leaf will repel and if the object will uncharged then gold leaf will not responded.

Hence, we can say that Electroscope can measure the amount and type of charge.
