Abstract
A current detector includes a half-bridge configuration including first and second magnetic detection elements that are connected in series and disposed such that a magnetization direction of a magnetic pinned layer thereof is opposite to each other, and a bias magnetic field generating means for applying a bias magnetic field to the first and second magnetic detection elements. The bias magnetic field has a substantially same intensity and is formed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the magnetization direction and opposite to each other.
