If you noticed, the Bessel equation of first kind zero order (Jo) is solved for the electric field. The current density involves an integral of Jo and from recurrence, it becomes first order, J1, which by definition is zero in the center. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tiancailuotuo Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 2:55 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Skin effect and Bessel function To solve the current density distribution within a solid copper wire cross-section, when only considering z-axial component Jz (current density), a Bessel differential equation can be solved. http://home.swipnet.se/swi/bessel/bessel.html <http://home.swipnet.se/swi/bessel/bessel.html> Then the solution is J0(A*r), where A=sqrt(-j*omega*sigma*mu), and J0 is the zero-th order Bessel function. [./Form_7.png ac_currrent] Therefore, Current Density = sigma*Es*J0(A*r). [./Form_7.png ac_currrent] [Form_9.png E] We know that due to skin effect, current density is largest around the edge. But from the equation above, Current Density has max value when r=0. Can any one help me understand this?
