Skin Depth in Conductor Calculator

Calculate Skin Depth







Formula

The formula to calculate the Skin Depth is:

\[ \delta = \sqrt{\frac{R_s}{f \cdot \mu_r \cdot 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7}}} \]

Where:

Definition

Skin Depth is defined as the depth till which current flows in a conductor.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \delta = \sqrt{\frac{1.1359E-06}{5000000 \cdot 0.9 \cdot 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7}}} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \delta = 0.000448186592910294 \text{ m} \]

The Skin Depth is 0.000448186592910294 m.
