Do they make a gadget that detects the presence - not necessarily flow - of
electricity in a conductor through insulation, walls, etc? Not electric
flow because I am hunting an open circuit in a mobile home. I want to see
how far the power is getting without removing caps on splices, opening
walls, etc.

TIA

Something like this might work for you.

Good for about half an inch from the conductor - possibly an inch on
a real good day of you manage to stand just right on one foot and hold
your mouth just right - - - and will not detect voltage in metallic
sheathed cable or inside a closed junction box.
