說明書
In this embodiment, operation of the user interface by a user causes the controller 133 to cause an alternating electrical current to pass through one or more of the coils 31, 32 of the induction coil arrangements 132, so as to cause the or each coil 31, 32 to generate an alternating magnetic field. The coils 31, 32 and the heating element 2 are relatively positioned so that the alternating magnetic field(s) produced by the coil(s) 31, 32 penetrate(s) the heating material of the heating element 2. When the heating material of the heating element 2 is an electrically conductive material, this may cause the generation of one or more eddy currents in the heating material. The flow of eddy currents in the heating material against the electrical resistance of the heating material causes the heating material to be heated by Joule heating. Further, when the heating material of the heating element 2 is a magnetic material, the orientation of magnetic dipoles in the heating material changes with the changing applied magnetic field, which causes heat to be generated in the heating material.
