Abstract
A coil element includes a first coil and a second coil in an insulator. In the first coil, first conductor patterns are connected in parallel to each other, and a second conductor pattern is connected in series to the first conductor patterns. In the second coil, third conductor patterns are connected in parallel to each other, and a fourth conductor pattern is connected in series to the third conductor patterns. The second conductor pattern and the fourth conductor pattern face each other.
