This method can be demonstrated using a gold-leaf electroscope, which is an instrument for detecting electric charge.

en.wikipedia.org

If high-frequency light shines on the cap, the electroscope discharges and the leaf will fall limp.

A negatively charged electroscope can't be discharged this way though, since the hot metal emits electrons only, i.e. negative charge.

This type of electroscope usually acts as an indicator and not a measuring device, although it can be calibrated.

en.wikipedia.org

The white-hot metal emitted electrons to the terminal, which of course neutralized the electroscope's positive charge, causing the leafs to come together.

It had been observed that an electroscope in a vessel at earth potential gradually lost its charge, even if very carefully insulated, due to the ionization of the air.

en.wikipedia.org

Charge placed on the metal cap spreads to the stem and the gold leaf of the electroscope.

en.wikipedia.org

But when the inducing charge is moved away, the charge is released and spreads throughout the electroscope terminal to the leaves, so the gold leaves move apart again.
