Abstract:
1. A current sensor comprising: a first conductor and a second conductor arranged so as to form current paths parallel to each other; a circuit board arranged such that a surface thereof is perpendicular to the current paths; and a first magnetoelectric transducer and a second magnetoelectric transducer arranged on the surface of the circuit board such that the first conductor is interposed therebetween, wherein the first conductor, the second conductor, the first magnetoelectric transducer, and the second magnetoelectric transducer are located on a same plane orthogonal to the surface of the circuit board, and wherein each of the first conductor and the second conductor has a flat plate shape in which a width direction thereof is orthogonal to the plane, and a center position thereof in the width direction is located on the plane.
