   * **Changing parity**: the position is changed, i.e., the spatial coordinate is flipped, e.g., $x$ becomes $-x$. In the context of WPT (due to the fact that the wavelengths are long compared to the circuit), it corresponds to switching the labels of transmitter (1) and receiver (2), e.g., a coil $L_1$ at the transmitter side becomes $L_2$, the coil at receiver side, and vice versa. In other words, there has to be symmetry present in Kirchoff's laws.   * **Changing parity**: the position is changed, i.e., the spatial coordinate is flipped, e.g., $x$ becomes $-x$.

-  * **Changing time**: the direction of time is flipped from $t$ to $-t$. Since current is the time derivative of charge, it results in flipping the current in the context of WPT. If we apply this on Ohm's law, this results in changing the sign of a resistor: we get negative resistors! Instead of a linear current decrease when the voltages lowers, we now have a lineary increasing current for a voltage reduction. Energy is now not dissipated any more in the resistor, but the negative resistor generates energy. The negative resistance is not any more a passive component, but an active component, supplying energy to the system. For inductors and capacitors, nothing changes when we apply time reversal. Applying Ohm's law also inverts the current, but the time derivative in the voltage-current relationship flips the sign again, resulting in a cancellation of the minus sign.+  * **Changing time**: the direction of time is flipped from $t$ to $-t$.

-SS and PP: exact PT-symmetric +Whereas it is possible to obtain an exact PP-symmetric circuit for SS and PP compenation topologies, this is not the case for SP and PS topologies. However, approximations are possible: if the coupling factor is low, and the coil quality factors are large (i.e. the resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are small), then SP and PS are in a good approximation also PT-symmetric, even though the circuits are obviously not parity symmetric (e.g., SP: serie in transmitter vs parallel compensation at receiver side == not symmetric).

-PT-symmetric: eigenvalues are pure imaginary => even when there are losses present, no change in the eigenstates in time + energy distribution of the mode on both transmitting and receiving sides is mirror-symmetrical. 
  
-Broken PT-symmetric: eigenstate amplitude increases or decays exponentially 
  
-The supply is now represented by a negative resistance. In essence, this is an active source whose output voltage and source are in phase.
