Electrical Principles
Electric and Magnetic Fields Electric Field Detected by a voltage difference between 2 points. Every electrical charge has an electric field. Electrical energy is stored by moving electrical charges apart so that there is a voltage difference (or potential) between them. Voltage potential = potential energy. An electrostatic field is an electric field that does not change over time.

E5D01 -- What is the result of skin effect?
As frequency increases, RF current flows in a thinner layer of the conductor, closer to the surface As frequency decreases, RF current flows in a thinner layer of the conductor, closer to the surface Thermal effects on the surface of the conductor increase the impedance Thermal effects on the surface of the conductor decrease the impedance
135
E5D02 -- Why is the resistance of a conductor different for RF currents than for direct currents?
Because the insulation conducts current at high frequencies Because of the Heisenburg Effect Because of skin effect Because conductors are non-linear devices
