Thank you for the reply. I was curious if the pulse would just propagate through the conductor like radio waves though space - without the need for or effect on electrons, but I just couldn't see there being this potential at some point in a conductor without an effect on the density of...

If I make a single, short (GHZ) negative voltage pulse propagate down a long, single wire which forms a closed circuit, will there be a corresponding negative charge density in the conductor (shown as bunched-up green electrons) which propagates with the pulse?

Fascinating. This forum is awesome! Thanks again :)

Thank you for the welcome :) -you answered my question succinctly, despite my poor terminology.

If I send a pulse down a conducting wire, does the pulse emit an electric field?
