[Detailed description of the invention] An electric field corresponding to the surface potential of the object to be measured is modulated by a rotating sector or a tuning fork, and the electric flux current obtained from a sensing electrode placed in this modulated electric field is In non-contact electrometers that are equipped with components that convert into voltage using a current-voltage converter, this occurs at the mechanical parts included in the measurement system or at the contact parts of dissimilar metals in the electrical circuit. This contact potential difference becomes noise that interferes with the measurement results.

Conventionally, as a technical means for reducing the above-mentioned noise, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 16171/1983, a compensation potential is applied to the sensing electrode via a resistor, and contact is made. There is a method of reducing errors that occur in measured values due to potential differences, etc., but when this known technical means is applied, it is possible to reduce the input impedance of the amplifier by connecting a resistor to the sensing electrode, A problem has arisen in that the sensitivity of the non-contact electrometer decreases due to a decrease in input impedance due to an increase in input capacitance caused by adding a resistor.
