Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a power source unit and a control unit. The power source unit includes a first inductor, a second inductor different from the first inductor, and a switching unit that performs switching so that one of the first and the second inductor is used. The power source unit is capable of operating in a first operation mode or a second operation mode different from the first operation mode. The control unit determines which one of the first and the second operation modes the power source unit is caused to operate in, and causes the switching unit to perform switching so that the first inductor is used in the power source unit when operating in the first operation mode and the second inductor is used in the power source unit when operating in the second operation mode.
