Charge Sensor

The charge sensor measures electric charge. It can be used to measure the charge from a plastic rod or the charge on a Van de Graaff generator. In addition, it can be used to compare various sources of charge such as a statically charged comb and a battery. Using derived sensing and a distance sensor it can be used to estimate the voltage of a static source.
