Abstract

A detector with plural variable resistors, each having a resistance member and an elastically deformable element connected to common fixed resistors, and midpoints between the variable resistors and the fixed resistors connected to an A/D converting circuit as common output paths. Connection parts connected to the variable resistors are switched in order to a ground potential, whereby voltage outputs based on changes in resistance values of the variable resistors can be obtained in order from the common output paths.
