In an angular velocity sensor, a vibrator is coupled with a substrate through a beam part, and is movable in a first direction and a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. A driving part is configured to vibrate the vibrator in the first direction. A detecting part is configured to detect displacement of the vibrator in the second direction as a change in capacitance, the displacement being caused by Coriolis force generated in the vibrator due to vibration of the vibrator and an angular velocity around a third direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. A restricting part is configured to restrict displacement of the vibrator in the second direction based on the change in capacitance. The angular velocity sensor is configured to satisfy a condition whereβsinθis equal to or less than 1.
