Patent number: 10454314Abstract: A wireless power-supplying system according to the present disclosure includes a power-transmitting device and a power-receiving device. The power-transmitting device includes a power-transmitting coil to which AC power of a certain frequency is input from a power supply and a controller which controls a frequency. The power-receiving device includes a power-receiving coil magnetically coupled with the power-transmitting coil with a certain coupling coefficient and a power-receiving side series element connected to the power-receiving coil in series and having imaginary impedance jZS2i.
