The size and cost of a magnetic sensor suitable for closed loop control is reduced. A magnetic sensor includes a magnetoresistive effect element that is electrically connected between terminals and extends in the x-direction and a magnetic member that is electrically connected between the terminals and extends in the x-direction along the magnetoresistive effect element. The magnetoresistive effect element is disposed offset with respect to the center position of the magnetic member in the y-direction. Magnetic flux to be detected is collected by a magnetic member and current is made to flow in the magnetic member in accordance with the resistance value of the magnetoresistive effect element, achieving closed loop control. The magnetic member functions both as a magnetism collection function and as a cancel coil, which reduces the number of elements required, and which also achieves a reduction in size and cost.

Determining energy usage of a residence based on current monitoring

Systems and methods include determining energy usage of a residence from a current that flows through a first main conductor and a second main conductor that transport the current into the residence. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors (130a-b) that monitor magnetic fields (150a-b) generated by the first and second main conductors (120a-b). After a resistive load (210a-b) is added for an electrical path in the residence, the first and second magnetic fields (150a-b) may be converted to generate first and second calibrating currents. A first prototype current is corrected to eliminate the influence of the second magnetic field (150b) onto the first magnetic field (150a) and a second prototype current is corrected to eliminate the influence of the first magnetic field (150a) onto the second magnetic field (150b). The energy usage of the residence is determined from the corrected currents.
