What is Skin effect in Cable?

Answer Posted / pankaj malhotra

When DC supply is given to the conductor, current flows
uniformly throughout the cross section of the conductor.
But in case of AC, Current does not flows uniformly
throughout the cross section and concentrate near the
surface of the core. The concentration of current near the
surface of the core is the skin effect.
