"When skin effect is present, the current is always redistributed over the conductor cross section in such a way as to make most of the current flow where it is encircled by the smallest number of flux lines.  This general principle controls the distribution of current irrespective of the shape

Since I don't know what precedes the word "thus" in the quotation below I would ask if someone could explain this phenomenon for me. I am trying to visualize this with a thought experiment. In an earlier post someone (Skip?) mentioned that early transmission lines were sometimes hollow
