Fall of potential is the ground electrode resistance method in which a test current is driven between the electrode under test and a remote current stake while the potential between the electrode and a movable probe stake is read; the resistance is the ratio of potential to current at probe positions outside the zone of influence of the electrode, where successive readings level off.
