Why is gold used in the Gold-leaf electroscope?
- AGold is easily available in nature.
- BGold is malleable.
- CGold is conducting in nature.
- DGold is cheap.

Answer
- Gold is malleable.
Explanation:
Though gold is a costly metal it is used in electroscope because of the property malleability. This means very thin and light sheets can be formed from gold simply by hammering or rolling and hence the deflection of the light gold plates increases.
