Abstract

A magnetic field detection device of an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a first magnetic field detection element having a first resistance value increasing upon application of a first magnetic field in a first direction and decreasing upon application of a second magnetic field in a second direction; and a second magnetic field detection element having a second resistance value decreasing upon application of the first magnetic field and increasing upon application of the second magnetic field. The first and second magnetic field detection elements each include first and second magneto-resistive effect films coupled in series. The first magneto-resistive effect film has a first major-axis direction inclined at a first inclination angle relative to the first direction. The second magneto-resistive effect film has a second major-axis direction inclined at a second inclination angle relative to the first direction. The magnetic field detection device satisfies conditional expressions (1) and (2).
