Why Do Wireless Chargers Get Hotter Than Cable Chargers?

Why does wireless charging make your phone run so much hotter than a regular cable? In this video, we dive deep into the hidden physics of electromagnetic induction, energy conversion losses, and battery chemistry. From the multi-step conversion tax and coil misalignment to eddy currents and Apple's abandoned AirPower project, discover why crossing a sliver of air generates intense heat. Learn how prolonged warmth permanently degrades lithium-ion battery capacity under the Arrhenius equation, why MagSafe and Qi2 magnetic alignment changed the game, and simple habits to keep your device cool. #WirelessCharging #TechExplained #BatteryHealth #MagSafe #Qi2 #EngineeringExplained #SmartphoneBattery #HowItWorks #Physics #TechTips
