A resistive element includes: a resistive layer having a rectangular shape defined by a resistance length direction and a resistance width direction orthogonal to the resistance length direction; a first outer contact and a first inner contact allocated on one side of the resistive layer defined in the resistive length direction; and a second outer contact and a second inner contact allocated on another side of the resistive layer defined in the resistive length direction, wherein, as viewed in the resistance length direction, the first inner contact is shifted from the second inner contact, the first inner contact is at least partly opposed to the second outer contact, and the second inner contact is at least partly opposed to the first outer contact.
