The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (see the figure below). The unknown resistance Ry is between points C and E. Point E is a "true ground," but is inaccessible for direct measurement because the stratum in which it is located is several meters below Earth's surface. Two identical rods are driven into the ground at A and B, introducing an unknown resistance Ry. The procedure for finding the unknown resistance Rx is as follows. Measure resistance Ry between points A and B. Then connect A and B with a heavy conducting wire and measure resistance R, between points A and C.
