What is Skin effect of the cable?

Answer Posted / thowsif_emerson_csm team

The skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric
current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so
that the current density near the surface of the conductor
is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric
current tends to flow at the "skin" of the conductor. The
skin effect causes the effective resistance of the
conductor to increase with the frequency of the current.
Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC
current.
