discuss the different approaches of wireless charging devices.
Inductive Coupling
One of the oldest techniques of transferring energy
wirelessly is inductive coupling. An inductor is a wire formed
in a coil where an induced current produces a magnetic field
which is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction
[4]. Electromagnetic induction was first discovered by
English scientist, Michael Faraday in 1831. He found that by
moving a magnet through a coil of wire, a voltage was
induced across the coil. When a complete path was created,
the induced voltage caused an induced current. Faraday's

In order to strengthen the magnetic field of an inductor, a
ferromagnetic core is inserted between the coils. A
ferromagnetic core provides a better path for the magnetic
lines of force and increases the amount of coupling between
the coils [4].
Devices such as electric toothbrushes, charging mats for
cell phones, and medical implants use this method to
recharge batteries. Some of the disadvantages of inductive
charging are the inefficiency of power transmission at a
further distance, inability to control the electromagnetic
interference, and the electric heat lost.

circuit increases. The above mentioned measurements suggest that the
system is suitable for use only when the distance between
transmitter coil and receiver coil ranges from 0 to about
1.4inches.
