1. A circuit element comprising:
a multilayer body having a rectangular or substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and including laminated base material layers;
at least one internal element inside the multilayer body; and
a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode on outer surfaces of the multilayer body; wherein
the at least one internal element includes a coil conductor connected to the second outer electrode;
the coil conductor includes a winding axis extending in a laminating direction of the base material layers;
the first outer electrode is in contact with a mounting surface, the mounting surface being a bottom surface of the multilayer body in the laminating direction;
the second outer electrode is in contact with a side edge and separated from the mounting surface, the side edge being where two adjacent side surfaces of four side surfaces of the multilayer body intersect;
a portion of the second outer electrode is in contact with one of the two adjacent side surfaces; and
a maximum width of the portion of the second outer electrode in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the one of the two adjacent side surfaces is smaller than a maximum width of the first outer electrode in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface.
