AC Conductivity

For constant voltage, conductors conduct and insulators don't.

For low ac voltages in a conductor, electric field and the electron velocity are in-phase, electric field and electron position are out-of-phase.

For low ac voltages in an insulator, electric field and the electron position are in-phase, electric field and electron velocity are out-of-phase.

At high (optical) frequencies the in-phase and out-of-phase component of the response is described by the dielectric function.
