In an electric pump, a vortex chamber may be formed by a clearance between an outer circumferential surface of an impeller and an inner circumferential surface of a casing. A low rigidity part may be provided to a supporting portion or a shaft, or to both of them. The low rigidity part may be formed such that while the electric pump operates, a center point of the shaft in a top view of the shaft moves along a specific line which is parallel to a tangent line of the outer circumferential surface of the impeller at the specific position and passes through the center point of the shaft while the electric pump does not operate, or moves to one of two areas divided by the specific line. The one of the two areas may he opposite to the other of the two areas that includes the specific position.
