Abstract
The response of mobile charges to a time-dependent perturbation is a starting point for the study of off-equilibrium systems. For the time being we will limit our scope to the study of systems weakly perturbed from equilibrium. New physical parameters will come into play: the dynamics of mobile charges in an applied field depends upon their mass and the characteristic scattering time. These parameters, which played no role in static screening, will now become key elements of screening theory.
