Which of the following appropriately describes "Skin Effect"?

A. Current density decreases toward the center of the conductor so that for large wires the central portion is useless as a conductor, thus increasing the resistance of the wire above that which it would be for a continuos current.

B. The skin effect increases with the frequency and also the diameter of the wire in such a way that for the same percentage of increase in the resistance due to skin effect, the product (diameter^2 X frequency) is constant.

C. Both are true

D. Neither is true

Love that disclaimer! Did you pass the PE exam or the Bar exam? :unsure:
