Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes an element section including a first base and a first element. The first element includes a first fixed member fixed to the first base, a first connecting member supported by the first fixed member, and a first film portion supported by the first connecting member. A first gap is provided between the first base and the first film portion. The first film portion includes a first resistance layer, a first conductive layer, and a first conductive member. The first resistance layer does not overlap the first conductive layer in a first direction from the first base to the first fixed member. The first conductive member overlaps the first resistance layer and the first conductive layer in the first direction. A first electrical resistance of the first resistance layer changes according to a state of a detection target around the first element.
