In Wenner configuration the electrodes are :

  • A.Equally spaced
  • B.Unequally spaced
  • C.Space between current electrodes is more than the potential electrodes
  • D.Space between current electrodes is less than the potential electrodes

Answer: A

In the Wenner configuration the electrodes are equally spaced.

The four electrodes are placed in a line in the order current-potential-potential-current, with the same spacing a between each adjacent pair. The apparent resistivity is then:

\[ \rho_{a} = 2\pi a \frac{\Delta V}{I} \]

Option C describes the Schlumberger array, in which the current electrodes are spread far apart while the potential electrodes stay close together; option D describes no standard array. Since the Wenner spacing is uniform, 'unequally spaced' is also wrong.
