An angular velocity sensor includes a sensor unit, a detection unit and a connecting part electrically connecting the sensor unit and the detection unit. The detection unit drives the sensor unit and detects an angular velocity acting on the sensor unit. The detection unit supplies a carrier signal to a movable electrode of a capacitor of the sensor unit and supplies a driving signal to a fixed electrode of the capacitor via the connecting part for performing a servo control. A C/V converter circuit of the detection unit receives capacitance generated at the capacitor through a driving signal transmission line of the connecting part in a state where supply of the driving signal is stopped, and converts the capacitance into a voltage. A determination part of the detection unit determines whether the driving signal transmission line has disconnection or not based on the voltage outputted from the C/V converter circuit.
