1. A first device configured to receive power, the first device comprising:
- a first coil having a resistance;
rectifying circuitry configured to generate a rectified signal based on rectification of an alternating-current signal received by the first coil;
a voltage detection section configured to detect a received power voltage of the rectified signal; and
at least one circuit configured to;
calculate a target voltage value of a first voltage to be supplied from the rectifying circuitry, wherein the target voltage value is calculated based on an amount of the power received by the first device and the resistance of the first coil; and
control the detected received power voltage to be equal to the calculated target voltage value.
