 The transmission of power from one place to

another without using wires, cables or chords

 But, the wireless power transmission is made

possible by using various technologies like
microwaves, lasers and EM waves

CONCEPT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE:
When an electric current passes through a wire, there is an
electric field & magnetic field in the dielectric surrounding
the conductor .
The electric field of a circuit over which energy flows has
three main axes which are mutually perpendicular to each
other:
a. The magnetic field, concentric with the conductor.
b. The lines of electric force, radial to the conductor.
c. The power gradient, parallel to the conductor.

 The transfer of energy
◦ Magnetic coupling
◦ Inductive coupling
 Simplest Wireless Energy coupling is a
transformer

Inductive Coupling:

 It uses magnetic fields that is produced due to current's movement

through wire. Bending the wire into a coil amplifies the magnetic field. The
more loops the coil makes, the bigger the field will be.
 This is the principle how a transformer works.
Using it an electric toothbrush recharged. It takes three basic steps:
1. Current from the wall outlet flows through a coil inside the charger,
creating a magnetic field. In a transformer, this coil is called the
primary winding.
2. When you place your toothbrush in the charger, the magnetic field
induces a current in another coil, or secondary winding, which
connects to the battery.
3. This current recharges the battery.

 Need of Resonant coupling:

Resonant inductive coupling or electrodynamics induction is the

near field wireless transmission of electrical energy between two
magnetically coupled coils that are part of resonant circuits tuned
to resonate at the same frequency.
Due to resonant coupling tranfer energy range will be long.
Induction rate will be high.
Due to Non-resonant coupling power tranfer range will be short.
Induction rate will be low because of losses.

 Will it harm me?
 Will it interfere with important
communication?

NO
 No wires
 Need for battery is eliminated
 Efficient energy transfer
 Harmless, if field strengths
under safety levels
 Maintenance cost is less

Disadvantages
 Distance constraint
 Field strengths have to be under
safety levels
 Initial cost is high
 In RIC, tuning is difficult
 High frequency signals must be the
supply
 Air ionization technique is not
feasible

 Efficient
 Low maintenance cost. But, high initial cost
 Better than conventional wired transfer
 Energy crisis can be decreased
 Low loss
