Well it can be used for radiation, etc. the main function is to demonstrate various electrostatic phenomena, e.g., conduction and induction of electric charges. it can also be used to see if something is charged which should make the two fine aluminum blades repel.

What is the function of electroscope?
In detecting the presence of electric charge on a body.
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.
Principle of electroscope and types of electroscope?
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
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.
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.
