They are used to store charges, like a capacitor.

How would you define gold heat eletroscope?
A gold leaf electroscope consists of two gold foils that will separate when an electric charge is applied.
Who invented the gold leaf electroscope?
The gold leaf electroscope was invented by Abraham Bennet in 1786. Bennet constructed the instrument using brass, glass, mahogany, and gold leaf strips.
Who is the inventor of gold leaf electroscope?
Abraham Bennet
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
Why is only a gold leaf used in gold leaf electroscope?
Gold is a very good material for leaf-type electroscope. It is very soft and light and conductive, while being non-corrosive. Other materials can be used but none seem quite as good.

What are some uses for gold leaf?
A gold leaf electroscope is used to detect charges on a body
Is americium found in foil?
Americium-gold alloy is available as foils.

How can an object be tested for the presence of a charge?
You can use Gold-leaf electroscope machine.
How do you use the gold leaf electroscope?
Touch an object to the metal receiver at the top of the electroscope. If the object is charged, it will transfer its charge to the electroscope. The receiver is connected to the gold leaf, so the electric charge from the object will spread throughout the metallic parts of the electroscope, including the suspended gold leaf. The two halves of the leaf then have the same type of charge on them. Since like charges repel, the leaves levitate away from each other at an angle dependent upon how much charge they hold.
What balance the electric force of repulsion make the leaves don't separate further?
The simple metal foil electroscope has its leaves propelled apart by electrostatic forces repelling each other. Traditionally gold foil was used as the metal, (for it may be made very thin) but I imagine that today metallized plastic foils are lighter and will achieve greater separation. But you have to consider the net direction in which the charged foils will exert maximum force against each other.
How does Rutherford's model of atoms explain the deflection of alpha particles by gold foils?

What is the use of gold leaf electroscope?
to determine if there is a charge on an object/ body or not and what kind of charge as well.
