Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a detection device and a circuit portion. The detection device includes a first detection portion and a second detection portion. The first detection portion includes a first detection element. The first detection element includes a first conductive member and a first detection member. The second detection portion includes a second detection element. The second detection element includes a second conductive member and a second detection member. The circuit portion is configured to execute a first detection portion operation for outputting a first detection result corresponding to a first detection value based on the first detection member when a first current is supplied to the first conductive member. In a case where a first evaluation value is not within a first range, the circuit portion is configured to execute a second detection portion operation by the second detection portion.
