Abstract

A

Expressions for the I. P. activity coefficient for an inhomogeneous sphere with the conductivity increasing/decreasing from the core towards the periphery according to a power law have been derived.

In certain geometrical situations of the electrode configurations a negative I. P. signal is obtained. The negative I. P. may be understood as due to modifications in the discharge current from the polarized medium during the discharge process.

The results of the investigation may be useful for more accurate interpretation of I. P. anomalies due to isometric inhomogeneous bodies.
