Abstract

A dielectric body includes a plurality of crystal grains of which a main component is barium titanate, and an additive including Zr, Eu and Mn. At least one of the plurality of crystal grains has a core-shell structure having a core and a shell. A Zr/Ti atomic concentration ratio is 0.02 or more and 0.10 or less. An Eu/Ti atomic concentration ratio is 0.001 or more and 0.03 or less. A Mn/Ti atomic concentration ratio is 0.005 or more and 0.05 or less. A total atomic concentration of the one or more rare elements is smaller than an atomic concentration of Eu when the dielectric body has the one or more rare earth elements. A median diameter of the plurality of crystal grains is 200 nm or more and 400 nm or less.
