A power series expansion can be used to obtain the kernel from apparent resistivities for an arbitrary electrode configuration. Three types of function are most appropriate for this purpose. The expansion coefficients can be by a least‐squares method. In this case, ortho‐normalization of the functions is of great advantage. An example with the Wenner configuration is given.
