A resolver includes a stationary unit centered about a center axis, and a rotary unit disposed inside or outside the stationary unit to be rotatable around the center axis with respect to the stationary unit. The stationary unit includes teeth radially arranged around the center axis, and an insulator covering surfaces of the teeth. The stationary unit further includes output coils formed on the teeth by winding at least one of two output wires around each of the teeth via the insulator in a first number of turns and in multiple layers, and excitation coils formed on the teeth by winding an excitation wire around the output coils in multiple layers and in a second number of turns less than the first number of turns.
