Be aware that most computer USB ports cannot provide sufficient power to charge an iPad. Most iPad models require at least 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V) to reliably charge, while many computer USB ports are limited to 2.5W-5.0W (0.5A-1.0A @5V).
For a computer to charge an iPad, the port is usually marked as being suitable for charging external devices.
