Safe High-Power Transmission via Surface Contact

The problem is determining the maximum safe limit of power that can be transmitted through a surface contact, such as a 1-inch diameter metal disk, without causing electrical shock or thermal hazards. This challenge is crucial for designing and implementing 'powered countertops' that integrate electrical power transmission into frequently used surfaces. The goal is to prevent overheating and electrical shock risks to users.
