Solution Approach 1:

The electromagnetic induction coil creates a feedback mechanism where the compensation signal is continuously generated based on the actual current flow through the MOSFET. This feedback loop ensures that the timing control signals remain precise while the compensation continuously counteracts parasitic effects, preventing excessive heating and energy loss.
