Abstract :
The transient response of free charge in a good conductor is considered from a macroscopic viewpoint. The results reemphasize the importance of the frequency dependence of conductivity in predicting charge relaxation. Moreover, the charge density exhibits an additional dependence upon the means of excitation which is consistent with relativistic principles.
