How do wireless chargers work?
Most wireless chargers are equipped with a coil that passes current to compatible devices using electromagnetic induction technology. Both the devices need to be fitted with a transmitter and receiver coil. The energy transfers in the form of a magnetic field so there is no need for cables.
Type of wireless chargers
Wireless chargers can be mainly categorized into two types – charging pads and stands. The main difference between them is the shape or the orientation of the phone during charging. True to its name, the wireless charging pad is a kind of mini pad or mat so you have to place your phone or ear pods on it. In case of wireless charging stands, the phone will be placed vertically.
Wireless chargers also differ in terms of output and compatibility. You can buy a 5W charger or a 15W fast charger. Each wireless charger also supports different smartphones and devices. Wireless charging also depends on the adapter you are using for main power.
Things to consider when buying a wireless charger
