2. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the first frequency band is lower than the second frequency band.

3. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the wireless power receiver opens the switch when the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the first frequency band.

4. The wireless power receiver of claim 3 , wherein the wireless power receiver opens the switch to maintain an inductance of the receiving coil.

5. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the wireless power receiver closes the switch when the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the second frequency band.

6. The wireless power receiver of claim 5 , wherein the wireless power receiver closes the switch to decrease an inductance of the receiving coil.

7. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power receiver senses a current flowing through the first rectifier and a current flowing through the second rectifier, and detects the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter.

8. The wireless power receiver of claim 7 , wherein when only the current flowing through the first rectifier is sensed, the wireless power receiver determines that the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the first frequency band, and opens the switch.

9. The wireless power receiver of claim 7 , wherein when only the current flowing through the second rectifier is sensed, the wireless power receiver determines that the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the second frequency band, and closes the switch.

10. The wireless power receiver of claim 7 , wherein when the current flowing through the first rectifier is larger than the current flowing through the second rectifier, the wireless power receiver determines that the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the first frequency band, and opens the switch.

11. The wireless power receiver of claim 7 , wherein when the current flowing through the second rectifier is larger than the current flowing through the first rectifier, the wireless power receiver determines that the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the second frequency band, and closes the switch.

12. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power receiver senses an output voltage of the first rectifier and an output voltage of the second rectifier, and detects the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter.

13. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the wireless power receiver opens the switch and detects the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter.

14. The wireless power receiver of claim 13 , wherein when the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the first frequency band, the wireless power receiver maintains an open state of the switch.

15. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the wireless power receiver closes the switch and detects the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter.

16. The wireless power receiver of claim 15 , wherein when the frequency band of the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter is the second frequency band, the wireless power receiver maintains a closed state of the switch.

17. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first frequency matching unit and a second frequency matching unit; and

the load configured to receive the rectified power from the first rectifier and the second rectifier, wherein the receiving coil, the first frequency matching unit, the first rectifier, and the load are connected in cascade, and the receiving coil, the second frequency matching unit, the second rectifier, and the load are connected in cascade, and the switch is connected between one end of the first frequency matching unit and one end of the second frequency matching unit.

18. The wireless power receiver of claim 17 , wherein each of the first frequency matching unit and the second frequency matching unit includes a capacitor.

19. The wireless power receiver of claim 17 , wherein the first frequency matching unit and the second frequency matching unit match a frequency band used by the wireless power receiver to a frequency band which the power received from the receiving coil has, and the first frequency matching unit outputs a matched power to the first rectifier and the second frequency matching unit outputs a matched power to the second rectifier.
