induction cooktop power

Will an induction cooktop work if the power goes out? Does it depend on the type of induction cooktop/brand/product in particular?

"Induction cookers are powered by electricity, regardless of brand.
In the event of a power cut, they will not work."

"Hello Angie,

Without power the hob won't work.
It needs electricity.

Hope this helps

"It does not work without electricity. Connections must be very tight, if loosely connected there is a risk of fire."
