A Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) is called a voltage-controlled device because its operation is governed by the voltage applied to the gate terminal. This gate voltage creates an electric field that modulates the conductivity of the channel, allowing or restricting the flow of current between the source and drain terminals. Consequently, small changes in gate voltage can lead to significant changes in current, making it a key component in amplifying and switching applications.

FET is abbreviation of Field Effect Transistor. This is a transistor in which current is controlled by voltage only and no current is drawn. It is a high input impedence device and is used in computers, telecommunication and control circuits. This transistor is better in certain parameters as compared to BJT, that is Bipolar Junction Transistor.
since in an FET the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain...so it is known as voltage controlled device.. for example..in a mosfet..the current from drain to source depends upon the width of the depletion layer..which in turn depends upon the voltage applied on the gate.. so that is the reason
A FET is called a square-law device because of the relationship of ID to the square of a term containing VGS.

A Field-Effect Transistor (FET) can function as a voltage variable resistor by utilizing its gate voltage to control the channel conductivity. By applying a varying voltage to the gate, the FET alters the channel's resistance, allowing it to act like a variable resistor. This property is particularly useful in applications like analog signal processing and voltage-controlled amplifiers, where precise control of resistance is required. The FET's high input impedance also minimizes the loading effect on the preceding circuit, making it an effective choice for such applications.
BJT is a current controlled device because its output current is dependent upon the current in the base while for FET it is controlled by the voltage at the gate terminal of the transistor. BJT is a current controlled device because its base current is not zero while for a FET the gate current is zero
FET
a FET, or Feild Effect Transistor. In a FET, the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain so it is known as a voltage controlled device. For example: In a MOSFET the current from drain to source depends upon the width of the depletion layer which in turn depends upon the voltage applied on the gate.
To measure DC voltage in a multistage FET amplifier, you should first ensure the device is powered on and the input signal is disconnected to avoid interference. Use a digital multimeter (DMM) set to the DC voltage measurement mode. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point where you want to measure the voltage (e.g., the drain or gate of a FET) and the negative lead to the common ground of the circuit. This will provide you with the DC voltage level at that specific point in the amplifier circuit.
