Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device capable of controlling a power supply interrupt according to the state of water leakage. A portable telephone () is equipped with a water leakage detection unit () that detects a physical quantity which changes according to the state of water leakage and a CPU () that interrupts a power supply in response to the detection result from the water leakage detection unit (). When the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit () is greater than or equal to a threshold value A and less than a threshold value B, the CPU () continues to interrupt the power supply until a time Telapses, and when the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit () is equal to or greater than the threshold value B, said CPU continues to interrupt the power supply until a time Twhich is longer than the time Telapses.
