On the Nature of Negative Values of Induced Polarization in the Transient Electromagnetic Process when Working with an Axial Electrical Installation on the Sea Shelf

The paper describes the ideas about the sources of induced polarization fields generated by external forces of non-electrical origin. Layered polarizable media are considered, over which a change in the sign of induced polarization can be observed for an axial electrical installation. Numerical model experiments substantiate the conclusion that the induced polarization is caused by galvanic currents and is not related to the induction component in this case.
