Understanding Skin Effect in Conductors by Ajay Khalane is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Skin effect causes alternating electric current to flow mainly at the surface of a conductor, known as the skin. This is due to opposing eddy currents induced by the changing magnetic field of the alternating current. The skin depth is the depth at which the current density drops to 1/e of its surface value, and is inversely proportional to the square root of frequency and proportional to the square root of resistivity. Materials with high conductivity and permeability like iron have a significantly lower s
