Skin Depth Effect of Metal Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onThe skin depth is a defined depth used to approximate the effective cross sectional area of a conductor when the skin effect is limiting that area. The resistance of a metal segment will increase as frequency rises due to the skin depth effect.
The below table listed the conductor material's permeability values.
Conductor Material | Permeability Value (μ0) |
---|---|
Aluminium | 1.00002 |
Copper | 0.999991 |
Gold | 1.0 |
Nickel | 600 |
Silver | 0.99998 |
Formula:
where,
δ is the skin depth
ρ is the frequency
μ is the absolute magnetic permeability (μ) = μo x μr
m is the permeability of free space 4*π*107 H/m
