Claim 5:
6. A coil device
configured to perform transmission and reception of electric power to and from a counterpart coil, comprising:
a coil including a conductive wire wound around a coil axis;
a first induction heating unit and a second induction heating unit which receive lines of magnetic force generated by the coil and are juxtaposed line-symmetrically with a second axis, which intersects the coil axis and a first axis intersecting the coil axis, being a line of symmetry;
a first temperature measurement unit which is disposed adjacent to the first induction heating unit and outputs a first temperature;
a second temperature measurement unit which is disposed adjacent to the second induction heating unit and outputs a second temperature;
a processing unit which detects misalignment of the counterpart coil with respect to the coil along the first axis on the basis of an evaluation value evaluating a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature; and
a housing which accommodates the coil;
wherein the housing further accommodates the first induction heating unit, the second induction heating unit, the first temperature measurement unit, and the second temperature measurement unit.
