Abstract

A magnetic sensor includes first magnetoresistive elements and second magnetoresistive elements, which define pairs. Rates of change of resistance of the first magnetoresistive elements are higher than rates of change of resistance of the second magnetoresistive elements. The first magnetoresistive elements each include a plurality of first connected patterns along a circumference of an imaginary circle in plan view and arrayed in a circumferential direction or a diameter direction of the imaginary circle. The second magnetoresistive elements are located inside the imaginary circles and are surrounded by the first magnetoresistive elements in plan view.
