Rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine comprising:

• a stator;
• and
• a rotor provided so as to be opposed to the stator in an axial direction, wherein
• the rotor includes
• an annular rotor yoke, and
• a plurality of magnets provided to contact one surface of the rotor yoke so as to be arranged at predetermined intervals along a circumferential direction with magnetic poles thereof being different alternately,
• the one surface includes a plurality of facing areas facing and contacting the plurality of magnets, and a non-facing area not facing the plurality of magnets,
• the non-facing area includes partial areas each located between a pair of the facing areas adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction among the plurality of facing areas, and
• the partial areas are formed to be recesses recessed in the axial direction relative to the facing areas, wherein
• opening edges of each recess formed by edges of the pair of facing areas are located on magnetic pole surfaces of a pair of the magnets contacting the pair of facing areas among the plurality of magnets.
