Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes an element portion and a controller. The element portion includes a first element. The first element includes a first magnetic element and a first conductive member. The first magnetic element includes a first magnetic layer and a first opposed magnetic layer. The first conductive member includes a first conductive portion and a first other conductive portion. The controller includes a first circuit. The first circuit is connected to the first conductive portion and the first other conductive portion. The first circuit is configured to supply a first current to the first conductive member. The first current includes an alternating current component. A local minimum value of the first current is of a first polarity, and a local maximum value of the first current is of the first polarity.
