with wires? yes

Sure. Transformers do this by converting alternating current into a magnetic field. Another coil that is some distance away is partly inside the magnetic field produced by the first coil and so an electrical current is 'induced' in it. Even though the two coils have no electircal connection and even though they are physically separated, electricty is transferred from one to the other.
Anotehr way to do this is to convert the electricity into light (maybe with a laser LED), then use something like a photovoltaic cell some distance away to convert the light back into electricity. Unfortunately, this isn't very efficient, and most of the energy in the light is 'lost'.

yes it happens all the time.thats how you get electricity from the power station to your house i.e through wires.to make a circuit to transfer electricity u got to have a step up transformer which increases the voltage to transfer because of the losses in the wires in the form of resistance.so when it reaches ur house they use step down tranformer to match the voltage which is i think 250v for normal home use. this is the simplest explanation. but they use more sophisicated equipment to do this.

We can never transfer electricity untill a conducting medium is available.
But we can transfer electronic signal from one place to another. e.g Mobile phones

how else do you receive electricity at your place ?

a current carrying conductor will be required.
