Abstract :
Ground electrode resistance measurements are usually done by Fall of Potential method. The potential probe position (0.618 rule) has been calculated for homogeneous soil 1,2]. Theoretical computation and experimental verification of the potential probe position in non homogeneous soil is presented. The experimental work was carried out on a twin layer laboratory model [3,4,6].
