“…I started to wonder if the magnet on the iPhone case was safe in my pocket where I also keep my credit cards…
I was told that I should remove my iPhone from the case after charging because [it] was not intended for daily use. ” Thomas Scholle

Optimization Approach
Given Pout and C, how do we maximize the efficiency?
or
What is the minimum required C to achieve a particular Pout and efficiency?
