Frequency Selection<br />

In Chapter 1, it was observed that eddy currents are exponentially reduced as<br />

they penetrate the test object. In addition, a time or phase difference in these<br />

currents was observed (current lagging with penetration w.r.t surface current).<br />

The currents near the test coil happen first or lead the current that is deeper<br />

in the object.<br />

A high current density allows good detectability and a wide phase difference<br />

between near and far surfaces allows good resolution.<br />

Keypoint:<br />

Current deeper into the test object lag the surface current by β = x/δ radian.<br />
