Abstract :
The author presents an interesting experiment involving the determination of soil conductivity which can be introduced as a homework problem in an introductory course in electromagnetic theory. The experiment utilizes the two important topics of resistance-capacitance analogy and transmission line capacitance treated in typical courses
