Radiation, or radiant energy.
Conduction: Energy transfer through direct contact between materials. Convection: Energy transfer through the movement of fluids or gases. Radiation: Energy transfer through electromagnetic waves such as sunlight.
Energy can be moved from one place to another through various methods such as conduction (direct contact between objects), convection (movement of fluids like air or water), and radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves). In addition, energy can also be transferred through mechanical means like using a generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy for transport through power lines.
Energy transfer occurs when energy is moved from one object or system to another. This transfer can occur through various methods, such as conduction (direct contact), convection (through fluid motion), or radiation (through electromagnetic waves). The total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant, but its distribution may change through these transfers.
A magnet or magnetic field is moved up or down repeatedly through a coil of wire, inducing an alternating current in the wire through electromagnetic induction.

Passive Transport

Solar energy is formed through a process called nuclear fusion in the sun's core. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing an immense amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation, reaching Earth as solar energy.
Transformer operation is based on a principle discovered in 1830 by Joseph Henry that electrical energy can be moved efficiently from one coil to another through electromagnetic induction.

No. Radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons (wave-particle duality). No matter is moved in this process.
