Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus ( 1 ) comprising a power receiving device ( 2 ) and an electronic apparatus main body ( 3 ). The power receiving device ( 2 ) comprises a power receiving coil ( 11 ) having a spiral coil, a rectifier ( 12 ) and a secondary battery ( 13 ). The electronic apparatus main body ( 3 ) comprises an electronic device ( 14 ) and a circuit board ( 15 ). A magnetic foil ( 16 ) is arranged in at least one position between the spiral coil ( 11 ) and the secondary battery ( 13 ), the rectifier ( 12 ), the electronic device ( 14 ) or the circuit board ( 15 ). The magnetic foil ( 16 ) has a value expressed as the product of the saturation flux density MS and the thickness t, namely Ms·t, of not less than 15.
