Abstract

A mathematical expression for the potential of a varying anisotropic earth with an inhomogeneous overburden has been derived for a point current source. The apparent resistivity for Wenner and Schlumberger configurations have been calculated from the derived potential. Sounding curves for these two configurations have been computed by using digital filter methods.
