This is because normally the medium restricts the power transfer due to losses or the shielding effects. However, for low energy applications, an acceptable amount of power could be transferred from the source to the load. This paper aims at finding the amount of power transferred, the losses and efficiency for a given configuration. First, an analytical model is constructed. This analytical model involves equations governing the mechanism of IPT. Second, the paper deals with experimental validation of the derived analytical model. A set up was made in the laboratory and certain experiments were performed for the comparison with analytical model. Experiments performed at different frequencies validated the analytical model but with few discrepancies, which are due to the assumptions made in the analytical model.
