Abstract
The capacitance sensorincludes a self-capacitance electrode, first electrodes(() to()), and a second electrodewhich are arranged being separated from each other in a thickness direction of an elastically deformable base materialformed by a dielectric. The self-capacitance electrodeis connected to a first connection portionfor measuring capacitance by a self-capacitance method and a grounded second connection portionvia a switchso as to be selectively connected to the first connection portionand the second connection portion
