A bstract If the conductivity of any one of the layers of a horizontally stratified earth varies exponentially with depth with or without a discontinuity at the interface, the corresponding expressions for apparent resistivity for Wenner‐ and Schlumberger‐sounding arrays can be formulated. The general case has been broadly divided into three categories for mathematical simplicity. All previous discussions of this problem can be regarded as particular cases of the present study.
