Abstract
A driving apparatus includes a rotatable rotor with a ring shape, a first magnetic pole portion, a second magnetic pole portion, and a coil for magnetically exciting the first magnetic pole portion and the second magnetic pole portion. The rotor has magnet portions which are divided along a circumferential direction and differently magnetized. The coil is disposed radially of the rotor. The condition of −0.333X+0.7>Y is satisfied where Y is a ratio of a central angle of each first magnetic pole portion relative to a central angle of each magnetized pole in the magnet portion, and X is a ratio of an outer circumferential length of each magnetized pole in the magnet portion relative to a thickness of the magnet portion in a direction of the rotational axis.
