Analytical solution for the electric potential due to a point source in an arbitrarily anisotropic half-space (Q1392855): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the problem of a steady current flow in an anisotropic medium, due to a point current source. The anisotropic medium occupies a half space and the other half space is vacuum. The authors develop a boundary condition valid over the boundary half plane and obtain the position of the image of the source point. Diagrams are given for the equipotential contours in the medium for two cases. It is suggested that the results obtained in the paper are applicable to geophysics.
