User level: Level 1 (4 points)I just paired my 1st gen Apple Pencil with my 10th generation iPad. But I don’t know how to find out the battery charge on my Apple Pencil.

The battery status of your paired Apple Pencil is usefully (and always) available from iPad settings:
Settings > Apple Pencil
Optionally, you can add the Battery Widget to any Home Screen or your iPad's Today View. The process of adding Widgets is described within the iPad User Guide:

Among other options, press and hold on the home screen to activate jiggle mode, select Edit, and add the battery widget, select Done.
