CURRENT SENSOR

[Object] To provide a current sensor that is able to be miniaturized and to stably detect an electric current without being greatly influenced by an external magnetizing field of a neighboring current path. [Solution] 12 magnetoelectric conversion elements 15a to 151 are placed on an imaginary rectangle L having a center PP. The magnetoelectric conversion elements 15a, 15f, 15g, and 151 are placed in 4 corners of a rectangle L. Each of the magnetoelectric conversion elements 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e, 15h, 15i, 15j, and 15k on long sides L1 and L2 of the rectangle L is placed within a range of an angle of 45° from a second imaginary line IL2 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction about the center PP.
