tendency of the current to crowd near the conductor surface.
Skin effect is proportional to frequency, conductor diameter and permiability.
Skin effect increases effective resistance of conductor.
In DC, no skin effect.

Ns = 120f/P
Slip=(Ns-Nr)/Ns
Ns = 1000 and Nr = 960
from equation of slip, S = (1000-960)/1000
S = 0.04 or 4%
