Nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers in diamond work as a quantum electrometer. Using an ensemble state of N-V centers, we propose vector electrometry and demonstrate measurements in a diamond electronic device. A transverse electric field applied to the N-V axis under a high voltage is measured, while applying a transverse magnetic field. The response of the energy-level shift against the electric field is significantly enhanced compared with that against an axial magnetic field. Repeating the measurement of the transverse electric field for multiple N-V axes, we obtain the components of the electric field generated in the device.
