A system with an exponentially broad distribution of resistances is an
alyzed for the case in which the distributions of fields and currents
within each of the resistances play an important role. This situation
is inherent in a continuum problem. Allowance for these distributions
further increases the relative spectral density of the 1/f noise in co
mparison with that of the discrete problem. A critical exponent of the
relative spectral density is derived. It contains a term which is att
ributable to the nonuniformity of the current and field distributions
within each resistance.
