WHAT IS WIRELESS CHARGING?
Wireless charging, also known as wireless power transfer, provides
the ability to charge a device without charging cables. The Intentek™
System uses the Qi wireless charging standard which provides safe
and reliable wireless power transfer. The power is transferred from the
Qi wireless transmitter to the Qi wireless receiver via magnetic resonant
induction. The magnetic field is generated in the transmitter coils by a
time-varying electric current. This time-varying magnetic field generates
an alternating electric current in the receiver coil which is rectified and
used to charge the battery.
The diagram below demonstrates this concept.
