1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a communication circuit;

    a battery;

    a first conductive pattern electrically connected to the battery and configured to wirelessly receive power;

    a second conductive pattern electrically connected to the communication circuit;

    a processor; and

    a memory that stores instructions, which when executed, instruct the processor to receive power from an external device through the first conductive pattern, to detect a voltage or a current of a signal output from the second conductive pattern while receiving the power, to provide an output regarding an alignment state between the electronic device and the external device that is at least partially based on the detected voltage or current of the signal output from the second conductive pattern,wherein a part of the first conductive pattern and a part of the second conductive pattern are spaced apart from each other by a first distance,wherein another part of the first conductive pattern and another part of the second conductive pattern are spaced apart from each other by a second distance, which is greater than the first distance,wherein the first distance is a shortest distance between the part of the first conductive pattern and the part of the second conductive pattern, andwherein the second distance is a shortest distance between the another part of the first conductive pattern and the another part of the second conductive pattern.
