Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes: a first housing; a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing; an opening formed along a third edge of the second housing; a switch located on a path that connects the opening and a ground region; and a wireless communication circuit. The first housing includes a first edge extending in a first direction and a second edge extending in a second direction. The second housing includes the third edge corresponding to the first edge and a fourth edge corresponding to the second edge when the first and second housings face each other. Parts of the first and second edge are made of a conductive material. When the first housing and the second housing face each other, the wireless communication circuit feeds power to the conductive material and controls the switch to electrically short-circuit the third edge and the ground region.
