A rotor (30) has magnetic poles (34) each including a rotor core (31) having two or more through holes (32) arranged side by side in a circumferential direction of the rotor, and a permanent magnet (35) inserted into each of the through holes (32). A length of a portion of the rotor core in a radial direction of the rotor between an inner surface of each of the through holes (32) close to an outer periphery of the rotor and an outer peripheral surface of the rotor (30) is shorter than a length of each permanent magnet (35) in the radial direction of the rotor. A magnetic circuit in which the permanent magnets (35) generate a magnetic flux shows a smaller magnetic resistance in a portion of the rotor radially outward of the permanent magnets (35) than in a portion of the rotor radially inward of the permanent magnets (35).
