% Find electrical skin depth for an AC signal into a conductor
Used to find eddy current losses
Type SkinDepth for a demo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
delta = SkinDepth( f, rho )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
f (1,:) Frequency (Hz)
rho (1,1) Resistivity (ohm*m, default Copper at 20 C)
-------
Outputs
-------
delta (1,:) Skin depth (m)
