WIRELESS POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR SUCH APPARATUS

摘要

A wireless power transmitting apparatus (10) is a wireless power transmitting apparatus which transmits electric power in a wireless manner by electromagnetic induction to a power receiving apparatus (20) which is provided with a power reception coil (220) and a fixed capacitance capacitor (230) electrically connected in parallel with the power reception coil. The wireless power transmitting apparatus is provided with: an alternating current power supply (110) which generates alternating current power; a power transmission coil (120) which is electrically connected to the alternating current power supply; a variable capacitance capacitor (130) which is electrically connected in series with the power transmission coil; and a capacitance controlling device (140) which controls a capacitance value of the variable capacitance capacitor to reduce a phase difference between a voltage phase and a current phase of the alternating current power.
