Sensor arrangement for detecting slip between first and second clutch elements of a clutch includes: a magnetic field source generating an initial magnetic field; a first magnetic field influencing element connectable to or configured integrally with the first clutch element; a second magnetic field influencing element connectable to or configured integrally with the second clutch element; and a magnetic field sensor configured to measure a parameter characterizing a superimposed magnetic field. The magnetic field source, the first magnetic field influencing element and the second magnetic field influencing element are arranged such that the initial magnetic field of the magnetic field source from the first magnetic field influencing element and from the second magnetic field influencing element is converted into the superimposed magnetic field. An evaluation unit determines the slip of the clutch from the parameter and generates a signal characterizing a state of the clutch based on the slip.
