Lecture 16
Electromagnetic Surveying
Chapter 13 Induced Polarization IP
and Self-Potential SP
• IP charge stored in an ore when a current
flows, it decays when current is turned off
• SP small voltages (potentials) generated
naturally
IP
• Conducting ores in non
conducting matrix
• As current flows electrons
pass through conducting
grain, but delays occur.
• When I=0, acts as a
capacitor that discharges
with time

Currents (eddy) are setup in the conductor that
Try to cancel B. But if there is resistance they are out of phase
and do not perfectly cancel.

emf from induced currents is 90o out
of phase with inducing field. But if the body has
since emf   A
inductance the phase may be different > 90o
However if the body is magnetic and the secondary field is mainly
due to magnetism rather than eddy currents

i.e., in phase. So phase can be used to distinguish
between gold (non-magnetic)
and steel (magnetic).

GPR at Parkfield 2006
•Velocity in air>velocity in ground
•Gives rise to a critically refracted
ray at the surface
•Critical angle obeys Snell’s law
Sin(ic)=v1/v2
•Direct air wave always
arrives first.

Very Low Frequency method (VLF)
• Portable
• f=23 KHz used skin depth several hundred
m compared with GPR
• Used to contact submarines
• Antennas Hawaii, Maine, Portland,
Moscow, France etc.
