An electric vehicle uses inductive wireless charging with a coil in the ground and a coil under the car. If the car is parked slightly off-center, what is the best way to maintain efficient charging?
AIncrease the power output of the ground coil
BReduce the battery size to charge faster
CUse a larger coil or multiple coils to cover more area
DCharge only when the car is perfectly centered
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand coil alignment impact

    Charging efficiency drops if coils are misaligned or too far apart.
  2. Step 2: Identify solution for off-center parking

    Using larger or multiple coils increases coverage area, allowing good induction even if off-center.
  3. Step 3: Evaluate other options

    Increasing power output may waste energy; reducing battery size is unrelated; perfect centering is impractical.
  4. Final Answer:

    Use a larger coil or multiple coils to cover more area -> Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    Larger/multiple coils = better coverage = efficient charging [OK]
Quick Trick: Larger or multiple coils fix off-center charging issues [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking increasing power output solves misalignment
  • Believing battery size affects charging coil efficiency
  • Assuming perfect centering is always possible
