He then asks: "where does the charge come from?", stating that it can't come from left as the pulse propagates to the right because charge would have to travel at close to the speed of light, whereas its drift velocity is slower (30 cm/per hour typically OTOH). The solution is that the '-' terminal supplies electrons to one conductor, the '+' terminal removing electrons from the other the other conductor, and the surface electron density on the two conductors rearranges itself so that the electric field inside the two conductors remains zero. This disturbance of the surface electron density is transmitted from one electron to the next by the electromagnetic field which has a propagation velocity much greater than the drift velocity of the electrons.
