The advantage of dipole inductive profiling (DIP) is the optimal relationship between the transmitter, receiver, and the target object, which is technically easy to implement. At the same time, a depth practically comparable in many cases with other inductive methods is achieved through the use of simplified portable equipment, which allows to significantly increase the productivity of electrical prospecting.

Exploration by inductive methods often uses a cable loop, the dimensions of which should be optimal, i.e., those that provide the maximum expected effect. The choice of optimal size is complex and can be solved for certain special cases. The solution is of the greatest interest for the transient method, where the same loop can be used to excite the ore body and register the anomaly. Obviously, the criterion for evaluating the optimum here should be considered the EMF value to be registered.
