An accommodating recess (21A, 21B) has a magnet accommodating portion (19A, 19B) for accommodating a permanent magnet (17A, 17B) and a cavity (20A, 20B), which is located at the q-axis side of the magnet accommodating portion. The cavity opens through a rotor outer circumferential surface (162). A starting point (Pa1, Pb1) of an outer cavity forming surface (201A, 201B) is located on the rotor outer circumferential surface. The outer cavity forming surface intersects either a magnetic pole surface or an imaginary extended plane (23A, 23B) of a magnetic pole facing surface (191A, 191B). The rotor outer circumferential surface (162) includes portions of an imaginary annular line (E). A starting point (Pa1, Pb1) of the outer cavity forming surface (201A, 201B) is located between the d-axis and an intersection point (Qa, Qb) between the imaginary annular line and the imaginary extended plan of the magnetic pole facing surface.
