Abstract
A first fixed terminal extends in a first direction. A second fixed terminal extends in the first direction and is disposed apart from the first fixed terminal in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A first magnet generates a magnetic field that applies a first Lorentz force in a first oblique direction to an arc generated at a first fixed contact and a first movable contact. The first oblique direction is a direction that is inclined with respect to the first direction and oriented away from the second fixed terminal. A second magnet generates a magnetic field that applies a second Lorentz force in a second oblique direction to an arc generated at a second fixed contact and a second movable contact. The second oblique direction is a direction that is inclined with respect to the first direction and oriented away from the first fixed terminal.
