Skin-effect. This is a result of the magnetic field, created by an
alternating current. Any alt. current will produce skin-effect, but the
penetration depth will increase with period. As a result, a current of
very high frequency concentrates in a very thin outer layer of the
conductor, thus meeting increase losses. It is fought by using better
conductros as platings to the main conductor, or widening the conductor
itself.
