What is another word for skin effect?
Pronunciation: [skˈɪn ɪfˈɛkt] (IPA) 
Skin effect is a phenomenon that occurs in electrical conductors where high frequency currents tend to flow on the surface of the conductor. This effect causes high frequency signals to be attenuated as they travel through the conductor. In engineering, there are several synonyms for skin effect, including surface effect, skin loss, and skin resistance. Surface effect refers to the tendency of high frequency signals to be confined to the surface of the conductor. Skin loss refers to the loss of signal due to the skin effect, while skin resistance is the resistance presented by the surface layer of the conductor. Understanding the various synonyms for skin effect is essential for electrical engineers and technicians as they work to overcome its negative effects.
