Most smartphones are Qi compatible, but what is it? Qi (pronounced /tʃiː/ CHEE; from the Chinese word 气 qi; traditional Chinese: 氣) is the wireless charging standard and is the first one that is supported by two of the largest and most-influential smartphone makers: Samsung and Apple.
What is Wireless Charging?
Wireless charging allows you to charge your electronic device without the use of a charging cable. Typically, a charging pad plugged into a power outlet creates an oscillating magnetic field with the electronic device to charge it.
How Does Qi Wireless Charging Work?
When a compatible electronic device is placed on a charging station, induction coils temporarily act as a transformer. When the charging station generates this electromagnetic field, an electrical current is created in the coil. This electrical current flows into the device’s battery, charging it just as a normal cable charger would (LifeWire).
How to Use Qi Wireless Charging
There are a few products you can sell for students to purchase to utilize Qi wireless charging. Charging stands are a great option for smartphones, smartwatches, and headphones or earbuds. Charging pads are another option for smaller smart devices but can also be purchased as mousepads as well.
