The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (Fig. P21.71). The unknown resistance Rx is between points C and E. Point E is a true ground, but it is inaccessible for direct measurement because this stratum is several meters below the Earths surface. Two identical rods are driven into the ground at A and B, introducing an unknown resistance Ry. The procedure is as follows. Measure resistance R1 between points A and B, then connect A and B with a heavy conducting wire and measure resistance R2 between points A and C. (a) Derive an equation for Rx in terms of the observable resistances, R1 and R2. (b) A satisfactory ground resistance would be Rx 2.00 .
