Permittivity vs resistance of metals and skin depth

A lecture in my electrodynamics course cleared this up: When people say $\varepsilon=\infty$ for a conductor, they are trying to get across that, in a static field, the resultant steady state solution …

Permittivity vs resistance of metals and skin depth

I'm asked to estimate the skin depth of copper at a certain frequency, but in deriving the equation for skin depth we basically need to assume $-\omega^2\varepsilon+j\omega\sigma\approx j\omega\sigma$ …
