1. A position indicator that electrostatically interacts with a position detecting device including a sensor, the position indicator comprising:
a casing having a pen shape;
an electrode within the casing;
a conductive core body including a pen tip that protrudes from an opening on one end in an axial direction of the casing, wherein the electrode surrounds the conductive core body;
a pen pressure detector which, in operation, detects a pen pressure applied to the conductive core body;
a control circuit which, in operation:
receives an instruction signal transmitted by the position detecting device,
determines whether the pen pressure is detected by the pen pressure detector, and
causes the electrode to switch from being connected to an alternating potential to being connected to a fixed potential in response to detecting device determining that the pen pressure is detected by the pen pressure detector.
