What is Skin Effect?

Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases exponentially with greater depths in the conductor.

How to Calculate Skin Depth?

Skin Depth calculator uses Skin Depth = sqrt(Resistivity/(pi*Relative Permeability*Frequency)) to calculate the Skin Depth, The Skin Depth formula is defined as a measure of the current density, and is defined as the distances from the outer edges of a conductor to the point at which the current density falls to 1/e of the value at the surface. Skin Depth is denoted by δ symbol.

How to calculate Skin Depth using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Skin Depth, enter Resistivity (ρ), Relative Permeability (μ_r) & Frequency (f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Skin Depth calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8E-5 = sqrt(1.7E-05/(pi*9.5*90)).

FAQ

What is Skin Depth?

The Skin Depth formula is defined as a measure of the current density, and is defined as the distances from the outer edges of a conductor to the point at which the current density falls to 1/e of the value at the surface and is represented as δ = sqrt(ρ/(pi*μ_r*f)) or Skin Depth = sqrt(Resistivity/(pi*Relative Permeability*Frequency)). Resistivity is the measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of current through them, Relative Permeability is the ratio of effective permeability of a particular fluid at a particular saturation to absolute permeability of that fluid at total saturation & Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second.

How to calculate Skin Depth?
