Abstract
An inductor according to one embodiment includes: a base body having a mounting surface, a top surface, and a first end surface; first and second external electrodes provided to the mounting surface and spaced from each other; and an conductor disposed inside the base body. One end of the conductor is exposed from the mounting surface and connected to the first external electrode, and the other end of the conductor is exposed from the mounting surface and connected to the second external electrode. The base body is partitioned into a first region and a second region, the first region being enclosed by the conductor and the mounting surface, and a ratio of an area of the second region to an area of the first region is 0.95 to 1.0. The conductor contains a conductive material having a higher electric conductivity than a material of the first external electrode.
