  • Abstract
    The charge relaxation in a good conductor is reexamined. It is shown that the fallacy in the prediction of the very rapid decay of free charge implanted in a metal lies in the use of the dc conductivity. The corrected decay time is some six orders of magnitude greater than that predicted on a dc theory.
