Insulators are best for demonstrating electrostatics because they

• are easier to melt

• don't easily lose a charge when touched

• are readily available

• are made of gold

When working properly, an electroscope will help you qualitatively detect

• an electrical resistance

• a liar

• a charged object

• a charging bull
