In an embodiment, a method includes: wirelessly transmitting power to a receiving coil from a transmitting coil, where the receiving coil is in a wireless power transmission space of the transmitting coil; measuring an output of a sensor during a first time to generate a first measurement; measuring the output of the sensor during a second time to generate a second measurement, the second time being after the first time; and when a magnitude of a difference between the first measurement and the second measurement is higher than a predetermined threshold, stopping wirelessly transmitting power to the receiving coil with the transmitting coil.
