Abstract
An electric potential sensor, having: a power source including a first output terminal having a first electric potential, a second output terminal having a second electric potential; a first and a second potential dividing elements connected in series between the first output terminal and the second output terminal; a ground node connected to a mutual connection node of the first potential dividing element and the second potential dividing element; a first resistance element connected between the ground node and an output node; a second resistance element connected between the output node and a detection node; a transistor connected between the first output terminal and the detection node; a pickup device for controlling a base current or a gate voltage of said transistor such that an electric potential of the detection node is equal to an electric potential of a measuring object; and a third resistance element connected between said detection node and the second output terminal.
