Re: Plate thickness




But then I releazed, I don't remember what happens when the conductor is
thinner than the skin effect.

                Any RF engineers out there? fred-at-triumf? ed-at-alumni?
russ-at-harris?

Well, Malcolm already answered that question. When a conductor is a 
fraction of a skin depth there is essentially no difference between the AC 
and DC conductivity or resistance. This is because the metal is not thick 
enough to support a "reactive" eddy current in opposition to the applied 
current.
