If the conductor is composed of one or more concentric circular elements, then the center portion

of the conductor will be enveloped by a greater magnetic flux than those on the outside.

Consequently the self induced back-emf will be greater towards the center of the conductor, thus

causing the current density to be less at the center than the conductor surface. This extra

concentration at the surface is known as skin effect, and results in an increase in the effective

resistance of the conductor.
