Claim 10:
11. A magnetic field detection apparatus comprising:
a first magnetoresistive effect element including a first magnetoresistive effect film that extends in a first axis direction;
a first conductor including a first part and a second part that each extend in a second axis direction inclined with respect to the first axis direction and that are adjacent to each other in a third axis direction different from both of the first axis direction and the second axis direction;
a second conductor including a third part and a fourth part that each extend in the second axis direction and that are adjacent to each other in the third axis direction; and
a second magnetoresistive effect element including a second magnetoresistive effect film that extends in the first axis direction, wherein
the first magnetoresistive effect film includes a first end part, a second end part, and a first intermediate part between the first end part and the second end part,
the second magnetoresistive effect film includes a third end part, a fourth end part, and a second intermediate part between the third end part and the fourth end part,
the first part and the second part of the first conductor respectively overlap the first end part and the second end part of the first magnetoresistive effect film in a fourth axis direction orthogonal to both of the second axis direction and the third axis direction, and
the third part and the fourth part of the second conductor respectively overlap the third end part and the fourth end part of the second magnetoresistive effect film in the fourth axis direction.
