Question

What will happen to the skin effect on overhead conductors, if the conductor diameter is small (<1 cm) ?

A.

Becomes negligible

B.

Increases to maximum

C.

Becomes double

D.

Decreases to half of the value

E.

Decreases to a quarter of the value

Correct option is A

Skin effect is the phenomenon where, in a conductor carrying high-frequency AC current, the current tends to flow near the surface of the conductor rather than through its entire cross-section. This is due to the magnetic fields induced by the current, which oppose the flow of current in the interior of the conductor.
