Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other this is the fundamental principle used in an electroscope to detect presence and amount of charge. There are mainly 2 tpes of electroscopes pith ball electroscope and gold leaf electroscope

What is the principle of a gold leaf electroscope?
The principle is that there is a force of repulsion between two objects that are both charged with the same sign of charge, i.e. both negative or both positive.
Uses of an electroscope?
An electroscope can be used to determine the charge of an object.
What can an electroscope determine?
An electroscope would detect an electrical charge.
If you grounded the electroscope what does that do to the leaves of your electroscope?
...Guys...This is the answer of question...it simple! If we grounded the electroscope..whatever the charge on leaves are, positive or negative (as it depends with which charge you electrolyse the electroscope), if its positive and ground is negative (attraction) or if same + + so repultion
If the leaves of an electroscope spread apart it indicates that?
It indicates that the leaves of the electroscope have received a charge.
What are the types of electroscopes?
The different types of electroscopes are - i. Pith ball electroscope ii.Gold leaf electroscope iii. Needle electroscope

How is background radiation detected?
with one of several types of radiac: Geiger Counter, Scintillation Counter, Ionization Chamber, Electroscope, etc.

It indicates that the leaves of the electroscope have received a charge.
Can you give me a sentence for the word electroscope?
An electroscope is an instrument for detecting the presence of static electricity.
An electroscope has been charged by induction with the help of a charged glass rod the charge on the electroscope will be?
negative
Can you tell if a object has a positive or negative charge with a electroscope?
The electroscope can't distinguish the two cases.
