The time derivative of the vertical magnetic field due to an electric dipole on the surface of a two‐layer half‐space is computed directly in the time domain by applying the residue theorem to the analytic field expressions. The second layer must be either insulating (σ2=0) or perfectly conducting (σ2=∞). The first case can be used to estimate the response of a conductive overburden for mining exploration problems. The second case is useful in explaining the overshoot seen in transient sounding voltage apparent‐resistivity curves when a conductive basement underlies a resistive first layer. In the late stage, the time derivative of the vertical magnetic field decays as t-4 and the late‐stage apparent resistivity increases as t for σ2=0, while for σ2=∞, these quantities behave as t-4e-αt and te2αt/3, respectively, where α=π2/4μ0σ1h12, σ1, is the first‐layer conductivity, h1 is the first‐layer thickness, and μ0=4π10-7H/m. The electric dipole expressions are integrated to obtain solutions for rectangular loo...
