Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first unit, a second unit, first magnets, and second magnets. The first magnets are at the first unit and include south poles and north poles configured to face in a direction from the first unit toward the second unit or in an opposite direction to the direction. The south pole and the north pole of one of any adjacent two of the first magnets face in opposite directions to facing directions of the south pole and the north pole of the other. The second magnets are at the second unit and configured to face the first magnets. The second magnets include a south pole which faces one of the north poles of the first magnets and a north pole which faces one of the south poles of the first magnets.
