Re: non-potential voltage

Mmmm,

Some current flows "through" the input of an FET  (However, it may be only an imperfection
in the device -- see next).  I prefer using the definition as the method i.e. use a test
charge to determine electric field, and measure the force (doesn't require any continuous
current flow).  An electroscope has current flow only when the field changes and very
little.
