A current sensor includes first and second magnetic sensors that are placed around a current line through which a current flows so that the current line is positioned therebetween, and that detect an induction field generated by the current. Each of the first and second magnetic sensors has a main sensitivity axis and a sub-sensitivity axis. The direction of the main sensitivity axis of each of the first and second magnetic sensors is oriented in a direction that is not orthogonal to the direction of the induction field. The directions of the main sensitivity axes of the first and second magnetic sensors are oriented in the same direction and the directions of the sub-sensitivity axes are oriented in the same direction, or the directions of the main sensitivity axes are oriented in opposite directions and the directions of the sub-sensitivity axes are oriented in opposite directions. |
