An inductor includes a coil that is provided in a component body. A first end of the coil is connected to a first outer electrode, and a second end of the coil is connected to a second outer electrode. The coil includes a plurality of coil conductor layers that are provided in a width direction. Each coil conductor layer is substantially spirally formed with the number of turns being greater than or equal to about one turn. The height of the component body is greater than the width of the component body.
