Characteristic of AC current is to flow outer surface of a conductor. It is called skin effect. Skin effect is directly proportional to frequency. So hollow cable is used as high frequency cable.

RE: what is meaning by the SKIN effect in electrical circuits
skin effect is the nature of the Alternating current, ie, the current will be distributed in a conductor and will flow more on the surface(skin) of the conductor than at the core this effect is called skin effect. this is mainly due to the eddy currents.
