A motor control apparatus includes a counter, a margin calculation portion, and a cycle set portion. The counter counts a total number of switching the current supply phase of the coils when the rotor is rotationally driven. A rotation angle of the rotor is detected on a basis of the number of switching. The margin calculation portion calculates a torque margin that is a difference between an output torque of the motor and a load torque acting on the motor. The cycle set portion sets a current supply switching cycle to shorten as the torque margin is greater. The current supply switching cycle is a cycle switching the current supply phase of the coils.
