What is the result of skin effect?

  1. As frequency increases, RF current flows in a thinner layer of the conductor, closer to the surface

E5D02

Why is the resistance of a conductor different for RF currents than for direct currents?

  1. Because of skin effect

E5D05

What is a magnetic field?

  1. The region surrounding a magnet through which a magnetic force acts

E5D06

In what direction is the magnetic field oriented about a conductor in relation to the direction of electron flow?

  1. In a direction determined by the left-hand rule

E5D07

What determines the strength of a magnetic field around a conductor?

  1. The amount of current

What is the term for an out-of-phase, nonproductive power associated with inductors and capacitors?

  1. Reactive power

E5D10

In a circuit that has both inductors and capacitors, what happens to reactive power?

  1. It is repeatedly exchanged between the associated magnetic and electric fields, but is not dissipated
