An electric element includes a substrate including a resin layer and a first conductive body, and a magnet. The substrate includes a first principal surface facing the magnet. The first conductive body includes a coil portion having a winding axis orthogonal to the first principal surface and located on a side closest to the first principal surface. The coil portion includes a continuous coil conductor including a first coil surface facing the first principal surface and a second coil surface opposite to the first coil surface. The coil conductor has a non-uniform thickness in a winding axis direction varying a distance between the first and second coil surfaces, and a difference of maximum and minimum values of distance between the first coil surface and the first principal surface is smaller than a difference of maximum and minimum values of distance between the second coil surface and the first principal surface.
