If the frequency is increased, then the skin effect will

A. Decrease
B. Remain the same
C. Increase
D. None of the above

Answer: C. Increase

Explanation:
The skin effect is inversely proportional to the skin depth.

The skin depth is given as
skin depth = 1/√(Ï€fµσ) where
f = frequency
µ = permeability
σ = conductivity

So by increasing the frequency, the skin depth decreases, and the skin effect increases.
