wireless charging

Wireless charging is a way to charge a device without having to plug it into the wall. This is done by placing the device on top of a special pad or stand that uses something called an induction coil, which is like a magnet inside of it. The induction coil produces a magnetic field that can transfer energy from the pad or stand to the device. The charges flow through the air and onto the device, allowing it to charge without having to plug it in.
