Abstract
A position indicator includes a first resonance circuit including an inductor and a capacitor, a second resonance circuit including the first resonance circuit and a variation device configured to vary a resonance frequency or a phase of the second resonance circuit in response to an act of a user, and a switch circuit configured to perform changeover between the first resonance circuit and the second resonance circuit. The switch circuit is changed over such that, when no signal is received from outside of the position indicator and when a signal other than a predetermined signal is received from outside of the position indicator, the second resonance circuit is selected, and when the predetermined signal is received from outside of the position indicator, the first resonance circuit is selected, and the selected resonance circuit is configured to electromagnetically couple with a conductor of a sensor of the position detection apparatus.
