El teléfono posee una bobina de cobre que actúa como receptor y el cargador tiene otra que funciona como transmisor. Al alinearse crean un campo electromagnético que permite la transferencia de corriente para cargar la batería del teléfono.

No, no lo es.

Una vez que el cargador inalámbrico esté conectado a una fuente de alimentación lo único que tienes que hacer para cargar un dispositivo es colocarlo encima del cargador (asegurándote de que está posicionado en el centro). Una luz LED en el cargador se encenderá y/o aparecerá una animación en el dispositivo para indicar que la carga se está produciendo.

Las bases de carga inalámbrica utilizan una tecnología conocida como carga inductiva que facilita la transferencia de energía de forma inalámbrica entre el cargador y el dispositivo a cargar. El proceso funciona mediante dos bobinas, una en el cargador y una en el dispositivo, que crean un campo electromagnético. La mayoría de bases de carga utilizan el estándar Qi que permite la comunicación entre el cargador y el dispositivo para optimizar el proceso de carga.

Los soportes de carga inalámbrica son similares a las bases de carga. La única diferencia es que sostienen al dispositivo en un ángulo determinado para facilitar el visionado de contenido mientras se lleva a cabo la carga. Hacen uso de la tecnología de carga inductiva que habilita la transferencia de energía de forma inalámbrica entre el cargador y el dispositivo. El cargador incluye una bobina de alambre que crea un campo electromagnético. A su vez, el dispositivo también integra una bobina que detecta ese campo y lo utiliza para completar la transferencia de energía. La mayoría de soportes de carga utilizan el estándar Qi que optimiza el proceso de carga al regular la potencia y velocidad acorde a las especificaciones del dispositivo. Además, el usuario puede utilizar el dispositivo al mismo tiempo que lo carga.
