Skin effect

Experiment no.: 6.5.6
Skin-Effekt
In this experiment it is shown that the current density on the inside of an electric conductor is lower than on the outside when a high frequency alternating current is applied. It can also be shown that the skin effect is dependent on the frequency of the alternating current applied to the concentric conductors.
