Solutions of the natural electric potential for skew and polyhedral polarized bodies

Abstract

Solutions for finding the natural electric potential from polarized oblique-angled (4-sided with complete asymmetry) and polyhedral electron-conducting bodies found in nature are performed. An oblique body is a layer with different angles of inclination of its upper edge and side faces, i.e. a body that has complete asymmetry. A theoretical search of various combinations of the angles of inclination of the faces and the lengths of these faces allows you to select an anomaly of the electric potential for tetrahedral bodies of any complexity. A polyhedral body is an 8-sided one that approximates a sphere fairly accurately at a distance of one or more internal radii from its surface. Solutions for polarized oblique-angled (4-sided) and polyhedral electronconducting bodies are tested on examples of interpretation of anomalies of the natural electric potential observed over real ore objects. As a result, the solutions obtained expand the possibilities of the natural electric field method in solving inversion problems and, thereby, increase its efficiency.
