Power supply control apparatus

A power supply control apparatus comprising:

• a switching circuit that turns ON or OFF a switch provided at a point along a wire, wherein power supply via the wire is controlled by switching with the switching circuit;
• a current output circuit configured to output a current whose current value increases as a current value of a current flowing through the wire increases;
• a resistance circuit through which the current that the current output circuit outputs flows, wherein the resistance circuit includes:
• a first resistor;
• and
• a series circuit of a second resistor and a capacitor that is connected in parallel to the first resistor;
• and
• a voltage applying circuit configured to, if an end-to-end voltage value across the resistance circuit becomes higher than or equal to a predetermined voltage value, apply a voltage whose value is higher than the predetermined voltage value,
• wherein the switching circuit turns OFF the switch if the end-to-end voltage value becomes higher than or equal to the predetermined voltage value.
