This is undulating charge by redistribution over equipotential surfaces 
and doesn't require current to flow.  Charges are just uniformly 
redistributing themselves over a single conductive surface.  All electric 
lines are radial and normal to all surfaces.  I gave the formal 
physics reference for this effect in a recent post. 

   Aside from the above known effect in physics, I personally still do 
not believe these charges are hard bodied physical electrons lose and in 
motion in the metal or in the dielectric at all.  This supposition is due 
to the computed quantities of electron charges involved and further based 
on the coulombic charges recorded and zero current flow during charge 
distribution.
