It should be false. How True?

Naveena said:   9 years ago
It is false.

Because &=1/alpha.

Alpha=root of (w*u*sigma) , as skin effect increases frequency decreases.

The given answer is wrong. Please explain how your answer is true?

Priya said:   8 years ago
Skin effect is a tendency for alternating current (AC) to flow mostly near the outer surface of an electrical conductor, such as metal wire. The effect becomes more and more apparent as the frequency increases.

Yes right answer is false.

Anindya Bose said:   8 years ago
δ=1/√(w), the answer is false.

Sandeep said:   8 years ago
false should be the correct answer.

Durgesh kumar said:   7 years ago
Yes, it is true because skin depth decreases as frequency increases not skin effect.

RPJ said:   4 years ago
As frequency increases, skin depth decreases. This means most of the current flows at the skin of the material (conductor) (the penetration level is low) hence increasing the skin effect. "Skin effect is the variation of current at the skin of conductor"!
