Skin effect depends on:

  • A.Size of the conductor
  • B.Frequency of the current
  • C.Resistivity of the conductor material
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

Skin effect depends on All of the above.

The skin depth is \(\delta = \sqrt{\frac{\rho}{\pi f \mu}}\): it shrinks as the frequency \(f\) rises and grows with the resistivity \(\rho\) of the material. Whether this matters depends on the size of the conductor relative to \(\delta\): a thin wire carries current almost uniformly, while a thick conductor at the same frequency shows a strong effect.

So size, frequency and resistivity all affect it, and no single one of them is the complete answer.
