<p>Provided is a current sensor capable of suppressing lowering in current measurement accuracy of a current path even when an arrangement position of the current path in an arrangement region is shifted. This current sensor (1) comprises: a mounting unit (13) having an arrangement region (12) in which a current path (11) is arranged; a pair of magnetic detection elements (14a, 14b) arranged on the mounting unit (13) so as to sandwich the arrangement region (12); and a calculation circuit for calculating a current value of the current path (11) on the basis of detection values of the pair of magnetic detection elements (14a, 14b), wherein the pair of magnetic detection elements (14a, 14b) are arranged on opposite sides to each other with respect to a virtual line (L) that passes through a center of gravity (112) of the current path (11) in a cross-sectional view of the current path (11), and respectively includes a sensitivity axis parallel to a direction orthogonal to a direction of the current flowing through the current path (11) and a direction of the virtual line (L).</p> |
