Abstract
Electric current density penetrates or ``soaks´´ into an electric conductor starting from the surface during current transients in a manner physically and mathematically analogous to thermal diffusion in transient heat flow. This useful concept is used to explain physically and evaluate numerically transient resistance and inductance of conductors subjected to rectangular current wave impulses.
