This rotating electrical machine (100) comprises a rotor core (21), a plurality of permanent magnets (23a, 23b) embedded in the rotor core, and a stator core (11) arranged so as to face the rotor core. The plurality of permanent magnets include a pair of first permanent magnets (23a) arranged so as to have the same first magnetic pole mutually facing at a prescribed interval having the magnetic path of the d axis therebetween. The rotor core includes gaps (24) formed in the magnetic path of the d axis.
