How a wireless charger works
A wireless charger works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A coil in the charger creates a magnetic field, which is captured by a coil in the phone and converted back into electrical energy. This allows the mobile device to charge without a cable; you simply place it on the pad.
This principle is utilized by theQi standard(the wireless charging standard), which is supported by brands such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Honor, and Motorola.
