how do those wireless chargers send electricity through plastic

I might be dumb but I assumed plastic isn’t conductive. How do those wireless chargers work?
I’ve tried googling it but the answer is too complicated for me to understand lmao

As a rule of thumb — things that are not conductive to electricity tend to be conductiver to magnetic field and vice versa.

The charger generates a changing magnetic field. This magnetic field permeates the plastic case and causes electric current in a coil that is inside the device that you charge.
