Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a detection device, a switch circuit, and a detection circuit. The detection device includes a first detection section and a second detection section. The first detection section includes a first detection element. The first detection element includes a first conductive member and a first resistance member. The second detection section includes a second detection element. The second detection element includes a second conductive member and a second resistance member. In a first operation, the switch circuit is configured to supply a first current to the first conductive member and not to supply the first current to the second conductive member, and the detection circuit is configured to output a first signal corresponding to a difference between a first electrical resistance of the first resistance member and a second electrical resistance of the second resistance member.
