Estimating the term…
A magnetic sensor according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions that forms a bridge circuit. The plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions are arranged side by side in a first direction. Each of the plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions is formed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions is formed in a meandering shape when viewed in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. Centroids of the plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions are located on a centerline of the plurality of magnetoresistance pattern portions in the second direction when viewed in the third direction.
A magnetic sensor configured to detect a position of a detection target based on a change in magnetic field strength to be caused by relative movement of the detection target in a first direction, the detection target being magnetized in the first direction in a predetermined cycle of magnetization,
