Abstract: In electrical engineering the Earth appears frequently as a media of conducting currents. In order to protect humans of electrocuting, the utilities chassis are usually grounded, the lightning rods are grounded as well and sometime the Earth is applied as a return conductor. For that reason, it is necessary to investigate the Earth's behavior when it is used as a conducting media. The best way to do this investigation is to determine the current distribution within the Earth.
Keywords: Current distribution within the Earth, combination of numerical and analytical calculations, graphical presentation of current lines.
