Inductive sensor
Device which uses electromagnetic induction to sense objects
An inductive sensor is an electronic device that operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect or measure nearby metallic objects. An inductor develops a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it; alternatively, a current will flow through a circuit containing an inductor when the magnetic field through it changes.

From Wikipedia
An inductive sensor is an electronic device that operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect or measure nearby metallic objects. An inductor develops a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it; alternatively, a current will flow through a circuit containing an inductor when the magnetic field through it changes. This effect can be used to detect metallic objects that interact with a magnetic field. Non-metallic substances, such as liquids or some kinds of dirt, do not interact with the magnetic field, so an inductive sensor can operate in wet or dirty conditions.
