Abstract
The present invention relates to a magnetic power socket and plug and combination thereof, comprises a power socket having a magnetic member; and a plug, the plug does not have magnetism but is able to be connected to the power socket via a magnetic force provided by the magnetic member. When the power plug is subject to an external lateral force, the power plug is able to be easily released from the power socket, so an electronic device coupled with the plug is prevented from falling or being damaged.
