There are electric and magnetic fields. While you can't have one without the other, one always dominates when those fields propagate. Also, the effects vary depending on distance from the generating source.[1]

This article apparently says that they have made a practical way to transfer magnetic energy to inductors (coils) well beyond the near field range.[2] They do this by creating quasistatic magnetic fields within a specific space. The coils within that space react to the magnetic fields the way coils in a circuit would.
