An apparatus and method for generating electric power by using magnetic fields are provided. A sensor node has a coil unit having a spiral structure in a plane that generates an induced electromotive force by using magnetic fields; a conversion unit configured to convert the induced electromotive force into DC power; and an integrated circuit for performing operations using the converted DC power. The sensor node may be disposed on a flexible plate substrate or film, and is attached to or placed on readily available electronic appliance cases which serve as magnetic field sources. The plate substrate or film can be provided with a metal shielding film. The metal shielding film may also be grounded, or the plate substrate or film may be provided with a metal shielding film accompanying an impedance-matching RF circuit for preventing reflection of magnetic fields passing through the coil unit.
