Will Wireless Charging Actually Replace Wired Charging?
The question of whether wireless charging will replace wired
charging is not as straightforward as it sounds. The question of when and if
wireless charging will become common depends on your perspective as a consumer
of the technology.
If
you’re a critic of wireless technology, then it’s a matter of if. Critics believe
that wireless charging will never replace
wired charging if the technology is not refined.
It’s almost impossible to control electromagnetic fields in free space.
Even the Tesla coil cannot control the path of air ionization
when attempting to convey an electric spark to the device. Hence, there’slittle chance, if any, that wireless technology will ever be refined beyond itscurrent state.
However,
if you’re a proponent, then it’s reasonable to argue that it’s when wireless
charging will render wired charging obsolete, despite it being criticized as
not fully “wireless”. As it stands now, wired charging is more popular than
wireless charging.
Few
people are aware of wireless charging. This technology is currently available
only on high-end electronic devices, which are still out of reach for the many.
It’s still at its infancy,
and may not be as developed as wired charging. It’s infiltrated into tablets,
smartphones, wearable devices and other small handheld gadgets.
However, mobile devices are increasingly adopting wireless
technology, and sooner rather than later wireless charging will become just as
common as wired charging. In addition, no standard as of late has been
developed for wireless charging. There’s also a trend toward integrating
wireless charges with household devices such as gadgets, furniture and so on.
What’s Wireless Charging?
It’sa process that does not require a physical connection of electric cables torecharge batteries of electronic devices. A microwave or
an electromagnetic induction facilitates
the communication between the device and the power source. The pad houses a
coil of copper which is also housed by the device.
The pad uses an alternating current (AC) power source to create
a changing magnetic field in the area surrounding the pad. This fluctuating
magnetic field induces an electric current in the device and hence charging the
battery. Whereas a wireless charger requires a pad, onto which a mobile device
is placed, a wired charger requires an electric cable, which connects a mobile
or gadget to a charging port.
How Convenient is Pad Charging?
Proponents argue that you’ll no longer need to carry manychargers for a variety of devices because more and more devices are becomingwireless chargeable. It’s inevitable that wireless charging will play a key
role in meeting the demand for a standardized, safe, portable and efficient
alternatives of power recharging. The user is safe from electric shocks. It’s
also easy to handle, and you don’t need to maintain it.
