A mathematical model and system of equations for calculating the distribution of electric field potentials in the medium with inhomogeneous conductivity is suggested. Lack of advantages from the application of large-sized electrodes is demonstrated and the conclusion is drawn on the optimal application of small-sized electrodes.
