Measuring Charge on a Van De Graaff Generator: Methods and Obstacles

[QUOTE="Albertgauss, post: 6039935, member: 349172"] Greetings, Does anyone know of a way to measure the actual charge of a Van De Graaff generator, in Coloumbs? One way I thought might be to measure the voltage potential around the generator, and calculate the charge from V = kQ/r, but would this work in just regular air? What obstacles would prevent me from finding V to get Q in regular air, if this method would not work? Is there any way to control whether a Van De Graaff generator can be charged positive or negative? [/QUOTE]
