STRAIN GAUGE

A strain gauge includes a flexible substrate, a resistor, and electrodes. Each electrode includes first patterns juxtaposed at predetermined intervals and electrically connected to each other. Second patterns of which longitudinal directions are toward a same direction as a longitudinal direction of each of the first patterns are disposed between opposing electrodes. The second patterns are electrically floating dummy patterns. The second patterns of which the longitudinal directions are toward a same direction as the longitudinal direction of each first pattern are disposed, the second patterns being interposed between first patterns opposite each other that are among given first patterns that constitute one of the electrodes and given first patterns that constitute another electrode. The plurality of second patterns are interposed between first patterns opposite each other that are among given first patterns that constitute one of the electrodes and given first patterns that constitute another electrode.
