geoana.em.static.DipoleHalfSpace

class geoana.em.static.DipoleHalfSpace(rho, location_a=None, location_b=None, current=1.0)

Class for a dipole in a halfspace.

The DipoleHalfSpace class is used to analytically compute the potentials, current densities and electric fields within a halfspace due to a dipole source. Surface is assumed to be at z=0.

Parameters:

currentfloat

Electrical current in the point current (A). Default is 1A.

rhofloat

Resistivity in the point current (\(\Omega \cdot m\)).

location_aarray_like

Location of the A current source electrode (m). Default is (-1, 0, 0).

location_barray_like

Location of the B current sink electrode (m). Default is (1, 0, 0).

Attributes

current	Current in the dipole in Amps.
location_a	Location of the A current source electrode.
location_b	Location of the B current sink electrode.
rho	Resistivity in the dipole in \(\Omega \cdot m\).

Methods

current_density(xyz_m[, xyz_n])	Current density for a dipole source in a halfspace.
electric_field(xyz_m[, xyz_n])	Electric field for a dipole source in a halfspace.
potential(xyz_m[, xyz_n])	Electric potential for a dipole in a halfspace.
