An armature where at least one of a first winding wire and a second winding wire is wound around slots that are opposed to all magnetic poles serving as a same magnetic pole in a predetermined winding direction so as to correspond to a predetermined winding number as a total winding number between respective slots, so that the plurality of coils are formed, and a slot from which the first winding wire is led out and a slot into which the second winding wire is led are located circumferentially at both sides of commutator segments with which the first winding wire and the second winding wire are conductive.
