← ScienceWhich limitation occurs due to skin effect in high-frequency circuits?
A)Increased resistance is introduced overall✓
B)Capacitance is increased proportionally
C)Dielectric breakdown becomes more common
D)Inductance decreases almost negligibly
💡 Explanation
Increased resistance occurs because skin effect causes **current displacement**, restricting electron flow to the conductor's surface, therefore increasing the effective resistance at higher frequencies, rather than altering capacitance because the geometry stays unchanged.
