Abstract

An electronic apparatus ( 1 ) includes a power receiving device ( 2 ) and an electronic apparatus main body ( 3 ). The power receiving device ( 2 ) includes a power receiving coil ( 11 ) having a spiral coil, a rectifier ( 12 ), and a secondary battery ( 13 ). The electronic apparatus main body ( 3 ) includes 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 μr′·t value expressed as the product of the real component μr′ of relative permeability and the plate thickness t of 30000 or larger.
