Consider the following two conductors, a 0.25 in diameter round conductor and a 0.5 in wide by 0.1in thick rectangular conductor each located 1in above a ground plane.
a. What is the cross-sectional area of each conductor?
b. Calculate the dc resistance, the ac resistance at 10 MHz, and the inductance of the round conductor.
c. Calculate the dc resistance, the ac resistance at 10 MHz, and the inductance of the rectangular conductor.
d. Compare the results and draw your conclusions with respect to the characteristics of the two conductors.
