Charging

In computer science, "charging" refers to the process of providing power to a battery or electronic device, allowing it to store energy for later use. This process is critical for devices that rely on battery power, as it ensures they can operate when not connected to a constant power source. Charging can involve various methods, including wired connections (e.g., USB) or wireless technologies (e.g., inductive charging). The efficiency of charging processes may depend on factors such as battery chemistry, voltage, and current management. Charging systems often include safety mechanisms to prevent overcharging, which can damage batteries or pose safety hazards.
