The present invention realizes reduction in vibration and noise while utilizing reluctance torque. A rotating electrical machine of the present invention includes: a rotor in which a plurality of permanent magnets are disposed in a cylindrical surface coaxial with a rotary shaft; and a stator having a annular stator core disposed coaxially with the rotary shaft, and a annular coil for magnetizing the stator core. The stator core has a annular part covering the annular coil, a plurality of claws disposed at equal intervals in an inner radius surface of the annular part and extending in the axial direction, and a plurality of magnetic gaps formed between the neighboring claws. The number of the claws is equal to the number of permanent magnets, and magnet flux in a direction orthogonal to a center axis direction of the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet at right angles in electric angle is larger than magnetic flux in the center axis direction generated between the neighboring permanent magnets. To realize the configuration, metal interpoles are provided between the neighboring permanent magnets.
