Skin Depth Calculator
This calculator calculates the skin depth resulting from the skin effect. The output is rounded to the fourth decimal place and is output in both "um" and "mils".
Input
Output
In the equation above, "ρ" is the resistivity of the conductor, "µr" is the magnetic permeability of the conductor, "µ0" is the permeability of free space(4π×10-7, and "ω" is the angular frequency.
