Abstract
Apparatus for an aerosol generating device includes an LC resonant circuit including an inductive element for inductively heating a susceptor arrangement to heat an aerosol generating material to thereby generate an aerosol. The apparatus includes a switching arrangement for enabling a varying current to be generated from a DC voltage supply and flow through the inductive element to cause inductive heating of the susceptor arrangement. The apparatus also includes a temperature determiner for, in use, determining a temperature of the susceptor arrangement based on a frequency that the LC resonant circuit is being operated at.
