Can someone please explain in a detailed manner about skin effect in electromagnetism, particularly wanted to know why does this effect take place??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I read the wikipedia link, and it does not explain as to why the current density is maximum at the surface and as to why the induced electro-motive force is maximum at the centre?
And more so why do the electrons get deflected the most towards the surface from the centre??
