A fuel injection valve includes a valve member for regulating a flow of a
fuel to a nozzle hole, a movable core axially slidable in an integrated
body with the valve member, a fixed core being faced by an end of the
movable core, and a coil portion having an increasing number of winding
of a winding wire toward the movable core in a bobbin to have a magnetic
attractive force between the movable core and the fixed core upon
application of an electric current. The number of winding wire increases
toward an end on a movable core side in the coil portion. Therefore, the
generated magnetic field increases on the movable core side. In this
manner, the magnetic attractive force between the fixed core and the
movable core is increased without increasing a cross-section and/or a
body of the movable core.
