  • Abstract
    The resistance of metallic conductors is higher for alternating currents than for direct currents, due to the so-called “skin-effect”. With alternating currents, the distribution is not uniform throughout the cross-section, there being a tendency for the current to concentrate towards the outside of the conductor, thus causing an increase of resistance and consequent increase of power loss.
