Abstract
First and second coils are disposed coaxially with a gap provided therebetween and are configured to mutually cancel out magnetic fields provided thereby. A receptacle portion that defines a space traversing at least a portion of a magnetic flux produced by the coils is provided, and a magnetic powder is contained in the receptacle portion so as to occupy a portion of the space. The magnetic powder moves within the space, and this movement produces a change in the magnetic flux. This change in the magnetic flux appears in the form of a change in the inductance value.
