Abstract
An arrangement for providing a vehicle with electric energy includes a receiving device adapted to receive the magnetic component of an alternating electromagnetic field and to produce an alternating electric current by magnetic induction. The receiving device includes at least one phase line, each phase line being adapted to carry a phase of the alternating electric current. The at least one phase line forms a line arrangement which extends in a longitudinal direction transversely to a flux line direction, in which magnetic flux lines of the electromagnetic field penetrate the line arrangement, so that the line arrangement has a first end and a second end, the ends being located at opposite ends of the line arrangement in the longitudinal direction. The width of the line arrangement, gradually decreases along the extension of the line arrangement towards the first end and/or towards the second end.
