A coil device includes a first coil portion which faces a second coil portion of another coil device and has a conductive wire, and at least one non-magnetic member disposed on an opposite side from a side facing the second coil portion. The non-magnetic member includes an eddy current interrupter for changing a state of an eddy current formed in the non-magnetic member by interrupting a portion of the eddy current.

An electrical component includes a conductor having a plurality of conductor sections. The conductor sections are electrically short-circuited. The short circuit is at least partially eliminated when the temperature of the component exceeds a threshold or limit value. An electrical circuit including the component and a method for increasing the inductance of an electrical component having a conductor, are also provided.

In some examples, a variable inductor device includes a first planar loop comprising a first planar face and a material that supports electromagnetic coupling and a second planar loop comprising a second planar face and a material that supports electromagnetic coupling. The first planar loop is separable from the second planar loop to vary the inductance of the variable inductance device. In some examples, the first and second planar faces overlapping each other in a closed configuration of the device.
