    Abstract: [Object] To be capable of promptly performing a switching operation of a switch.[Solving Means] In a switching apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology, a movable electrode includes a first movable electrode piece, a second movable electrode piece, and a movable contact point. A first fixed electrode includes first and second fixed electrode pieces, the first and second fixed electrode pieces facing each other with the first movable electrode piece disposed between the first and second fixed electrode pieces, the first fixed electrode piece facing the first movable electrode piece with a gap narrower than a gap between the second fixed electrode piece and the first movable electrode piece. A second fixed electrode includes third and fourth fixed electrode pieces, the third and fourth fixed electrode pieces facing each other with the second movable electrode piece disposed between the third and fourth fixed electrode pieces, the third fixed electrode piece facing the second movable electrode piece with a gap narrower than a gap between the fourth fixed electrode piece and the second movable electrode piece. A first fixed contact point is in contact with the movable contact point, the movable contact point moving in a first direction by an electrostatic attractive force between the movable electrode and the first fixed electrode. A second fixed contact point is in contact with the movable contact point, the movable contact point moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction by an electrostatic attractive force between the movable electrode and the second fixed electrode.
