In one aspect an induction coil is provided comprising a plurality of substantially co-planar coils formed from one or more lengths of conducting material, each length of conducting material being electrically connectable at each end to a power source or battery, and wherein at least one of the lengths of conducting material is continuously wound around two or more of the coils. In another aspect, a method is provided for forming such an induction coil. In yet another aspect, a switching device is operable to alter the configuration of the coils, for example in response to a detected characteristic of another induction coil or device coupled thereto.
