_Induction cooking top: Inductive charging can put power across a 400mm (15.74�) gap with a lateral misalignment of up to 250mm (9.84�) & still have a 90% efficiency rate.
_Inductive charging: The induced current in the coil produces a magnetic field. Once the power is on, the current will pass through the coil under the ceramic plate and produces a magnetic field. The bottom of the iron cooker will be induced to produce an eddy current, which directly heats the cooker bottom and in turn, heats up the food.
