How does inductive charging of my smartphone work in the wireless charging tray of my MINI?

If your smartphone supports inductive charging, it will be automatically charged in the wireless charging tray of your MINI. Inside the wireless charging tray is an electric coil through which alternating current flows. This creates a magnetic field. There is a coil even in your smartphone. If this is in the range of the magnetic field, current also flows through it. The alternating current is converted into direct current and flows to the battery, which will then be charged. Please note: Thick smartphone covers or metallic cases affect charging.
