| 1. A linear motor comprising:
a bobbin;
first and second coil groups wound on the bobbin to allow driving power to be applied to the coil groups; and
a magnet adapted to be linearly reciprocated under the influence of a magnetic field that is produced by the coil groups depending
on load current flowing through the coil groups,
wherein each of the coil groups comprises a main coil and an auxiliary coil, and the main coils are connected with each other
in parallel,
wherein the first coil group has a first main coil and a first auxiliary coil, and the second coil group has a second main
coil and a second auxiliary coil,
wherein a base tap is connected to first ends of the first and second main coils connected in parallel, the base tap being
connected to a power supply unit,
where a first connecting tap is connected to second ends of the first and second main coils connected in parallel and a first
end of the first and second auxiliary coils connected in series, and
wherein a second connecting tap is connected to a second end of the first and second auxiliary coils connected in series.
