Rotary electric machine
A single-phase AC rotary electric machine is provided that eliminates the return coil (return line) and can widen a space where a coil within a slot can be disposed and includes: a rotor; and a stator disposed such that a gap G in a radial direction is present between the rotor and the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of magnets forming rotor magnetic poles N and S disposed in a circumferential direction. The stator includes a stator iron core, a plurality of teeth disposed in the stator iron core, and coils wound around the teeth. The tooth includes branched portions whose distal end side facing the rotor magnetic poles N and S is branched plurally, and in the distal portions of the branched portions branched plurally, two distal portions adjoining each other are apart from each other by one pole portion of the rotor magnetic poles N and S.
