1. A motor comprising:
a rotation shaft extending along a center axis;
a rotor provided on an outer periphery of the rotation shaft and rotatable together with the rotation shaft; and
a stator radially opposed to the rotor; wherein
the rotor includes a rotor core made of a magnetic material;
the rotor includes flux barriers penetrating the rotor core along an axial direction;
in a plane orthogonal to the axial direction, among a plurality of the flux barriers corresponding to each pole of the rotor, at least two of the flux barriers are entirely located within an extending angle, a magnitude of the extending angle is determined by a number of poles of the rotor and a number of phases of the motor, a center line of the extending angle is a q-axis of the rotor, a ratio between an area of the flux barriers entirely located within the extending angle and an area of all flux barriers corresponding to each pole is about ½ or more, and a ratio between a difference between an area of a radially innermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and an area of a radially outermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and a smaller one of the two areas is about 10% or less.
