wireless power

Inductive energy transfer

Wireless power is electricity transmitted without physical cables, typically through electromagnetic fields, radio waves, or resonant coupling.

The technology enables charging devices by placing them on pads or within range of transmitters rather than plugging them in: My phone has wireless power capability.

Also called wireless charging.
