[Physics] Measuring Static Electricity

electricity

Is it possible to measure the static electricity in a room using a VOM or some other digital meter? I have a lot of static electricity building up in a carpeted room, and would rather not spend the money buying a meter to measure this.

Yes, you can build your own electrometer.
