1. An aerosol delivery device comprising:
a control body;
a resonant transmitter; and
an aerosol source member that includes an aerosol precursor composition and a resonant receiver,
wherein the aerosol source member is configured to be coupled to the control body, wherein the resonant transmitter is located within the control body and is configured to generate an oscillating magnetic field and induce an alternating voltage in the resonant receiver when exposed to the oscillating magnetic field, the alternating voltage causing the resonant receiver to generate heat and thereby vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition to produce an aerosol,
wherein the resonant transmitter comprises a transmitter coil, wherein the control body further comprises a coil support member, wherein the transmitter coil is configured to circumscribe the coil support member, and wherein the resonant receiver has a rectangular cross-section.
