Except the T factor, the anomaly generally depends upon the geometry of
the body. We can compute the em anomaly along the profile at a constant
frequency and compare with that obtained in the field and get the depth of the
body. From multiple frequency observation some idea about the conductivity
of the body can b e made.
Now at Y = 0,

By measuring the vertical component of the anomaly we can pin point
the location of the top of the conductive body. By measuring the horizontal
component and locating the position of

from the center of the
body, we can measure the depth of the body since distance of the point of
inflection of the horizontal component from that of the vertical component is

Since the frequency chosen is generally small

Therefore
