    Skin effect is more pronounced in which type of supply?
    Question

    Skin effect is more pronounced in which type of supply?

    A.

    Neither AC nor DC supply

    B.

    Both AC and DC supply

    C.

    AC supply

    D.

    DC supply

    Correct option is C


    Skin effect is more pronounced in AC supply: 
    Explanation: Skin effect is a phenomenon that occurs in alternating current (AC) systems, where the current flows primarily on the outer surface of a conductor. This is due to the back emf produced by the self induced magnetic flux in a conductor. For a DC current, the rate of change of flux is zero, so there is no back emf. 
    Effect of frequency: The skin effect increases with the frequency of the AC signal. As the frequency increases, the conduction begins to move the conductor cross-section to the surface only. 
    Effect of permeability: The skin effect increases with the increase in the permeability of the material.
