What is induction charging?
Induction charging is a feature that has recently become popular because it is new and a different way of charging your device. It is considered a technology for newer and “premium” cell phones.
This type of charging is done wirelessly, where you just need to place your cell phone on top of the charger for it to automatically begin the battery recharging process.
When a cell phone features induction charging, it has a coil inside it called a receiver, while the wireless charger also has a coil that we will call a transmitter.
After the transmitter is connected to the socket, an electric current is sent to the coil that will create a magnetic field around it, and when the receiver gets close, the magnetic energy transforms into electrical energy.

And this is how your induction charger creates a field in which your cell phone can be charged without the need for wires.
On the market we can find some brands that already have devices with induction charging, such as Samsung, Apple, Google and Motorola.
What are the advantages of the induction charger?
One of the first advantages of induction charging is convenience, as it eliminates the need for physical cables and connectors, making the charging process more convenient.
Simply place your wireless charging compatible device on top of the charger and charging starts automatically.
Furthermore, it is very easy to use as there is no need to connect or disconnect cables every time.
Just place the device on the charger and that's it. This makes charging easier, especially in situations where you need to take the device on and off frequently, such as with wireless headphones.
This also implies durability, as the cable is not handled frequently, so there is less wear and tear on this equipment, increasing the useful life of your cable, which may not be used much.
The absence of cables and connectors when charging can result in a cleaner, more organized appearance.
Induction chargers can be integrated into furniture, such as tables and desks, or found in base or support format, which contributes to a more pleasant aesthetic.
And it is also very safe, as it meets all necessary regulatory standards. With protective features to detect foreign objects and control the charger temperature.
Although induction charging has several advantages, it is important to mention that it can be a little slower compared to wired charging, especially on devices with higher battery capacity.
However, for many users, the convenience and ease of use of induction charging outweigh this difference in speed, but of course, it depends on the charging conditions and needs.
