When a plane (PLN) which includes electrodes (2a, 2b) and is perpendicular to the direction of an axis (PAX) of a measuring pipe (1) is defined as a boundary in the measuring pipe (1), an exciting coil (3) applies asymmetrical magnetic fields to a fluid to be measured, which flows through the measuring pipe (1), on both sides of the plane (PLN) serving as the boundary in the measuring pipe (1). A signal conversion unit (5) obtains the phase difference between an exciting current supplied to the exciting coil (3) and an interelectrode electromotive force detected by the electrodes (2a, 2b). A flow rate output unit (6) calculates the flow rate of the fluid on the basis of the phase difference obtained by the signal conversion unit (5).
