Which statement about a good conductor is NOT correct?

  • A.the intrinsic impedance has a phase angle of forty-five degrees
  • B.the fields decay to a third of their value in one skin depth
  • C.the electric and magnetic fields within it are in phase
  • D.the attenuation constant equals the phase constant

Answer: C

Correct answer: the electric and magnetic fields within it are in phase

That is the false one. Because the intrinsic impedance of a good conductor carries a 45 degree phase angle, the magnetic field lags the electric field by 45 degrees inside the metal. The other three are all correct: the 45 degree angle itself, the decay to \( 1/e \) - about a third - in one skin depth, and the equality \( \alpha = \beta = 1/\delta \).
