1. A contactless power receiving device comprising:
- a power receiving unit that contactlessly receives electric power from a power transmitting unit provided in a power transmitting device, and that includes;
a first coil;
a first capacitor that is connected to the first coil; and
a first selector device that is connected in parallel with the first capacitor and that is configured to be switched between a connecting state in which the first selector device electrically connects both ends of the first capacitor and a disconnecting state in which the first selector device electrically disconnects the both ends of the first capacitor; and
an electric load device that uses the electric power received by the power receiving unit.
