Principles of Wireless Power
Transfer
1 Electromagnetic Induction
Wireless power transfer technology is based on the
principle of electromagnetic induction, where a transmitter
coil generates a magnetic field that induces an electric
current in a receiver coil, enabling the transfer of power
without physical contact.
2 Resonant Coupling
Wireless charging systems often utilize resonant coupling,
where the transmitter and receiver coils are tuned to the
same resonant frequency, allowing for efficient power
transfer over a specific distance range.
3 Energy Conversion
The electrical energy from the power source is converted
into high-frequency alternating current, which is then
transmitted through the magnetic field to the receiver coil.
The receiver coil converts the magnetic field back into
electrical energy, which is then used to charge the vehicle's
battery.
