The most common electrode setup, at least in North America, is the Wenner arrangement(...). Here each potential electrode is separated from the adjacent current electrode by a distance "a" which is one-third the separation of the current electrodes. 1, record 1, English, - Wenner%20arrangement

[Dans les méthodes électriques de géophysique] Une grande variété de configurations d'électrodes est possible. (...) [Dans la configuration de Wenner] F. Wenner (1915) a proposé d'employer deux électrodes de courant C(1) et C(2) et deux électrodes de potentiel P(1) et P(2) arrangées de telle façon que la distance r entre chacune des électrodes est constante. 1, record 1, French, - configuration%20de%20Wenner

[Une grande variété de configurations d'électrodes est possible en géophysique électrique.] Lee (1928-30) a proposé d'employer cinq électrodes donc deux (C(1) et C(2] sont des électrodes de courant et trois (P(0), P(1) et P(2) sont des électrodes de potentiel. La distance qui sépare les électrodes de potentiel est la moitié de la distance "r" qui sépare les deux électrodes extrêmes de potentiel des électrodes de courant. 1, record 2, French, - configuration%20de%20Lee
