Wireless chargers utilize a coil of wire to generate an electromagnetic field, which in turn induces an electrical current in another coil located within a compatible device (such as a smartphone or a smartwatch), thereby charging the device’s battery without the need for physical connections like cables. This process is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Here’s a basic overview of how the coil works in a wireless charger:
- Transmitter Coil: The transmitter coil is typically found within the wireless charging pad or stand. When an electric current is passed through this coil, it generates a magnetic field around it.
- Receiver Coil: The receiver coil is located inside the device being charged. When placed within the vicinity of the transmitter coil, the changing magnetic field generated by the transmitter induces an electric current in the receiver coil, following the principles of electromagnetic induction.
- Power Transfer: This induced electric current is then used to charge the battery of the device. The charger and the device communicate to optimize power transfer efficiency and to ensure safe charging.
The size, shape, and configuration of these coils can vary depending on the design of the wireless charger and the device being charged. The efficiency of power transfer and charging speed can also be affected by factors like coil size, alignment between transmitter and receiver coils, and the materials used in construction.
