N2 - In this paper, we study the phase field model on a three-dimensional bounded domain for a two-phase, incompressible, inductionless magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system, which is important for many engineering applications. To efficiently and accurately solve this multi-physics nonlinear system, we present a fully discrete scheme that ensures both mass and charge conservation. Making use of the discrete energy law, we demonstrate that the fully discrete scheme satisfies unconditional energy stability. Subsequently, by utilizing the Leray-Schauder principle, we establish the existence of solutions to the discrete scheme. As both mesh size and time step size tend to zero, we prove that the discrete solutions converge to the weak solution of the continuous problem. Finally, several three-dimensional numerical experiments, including the accuracy test, the bubble coalescence, the drop deformation and the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, are performed to validate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed numerical scheme.
