Current can be pumped through a closed system by changing parameters (or fields) in time. Linear response theory (the Kubo formula) allows one to analyze both the charge transport and the associated dissipation effect. We make a distinction between adiabatic and non-adiabatic regimes, and explain the Subtle limit of an infinite system. As an example we discuss the following question: What is the amount of charge which is pushed by a moving scatterer? In the low-frequency (DC) limit we can write dQ = -GdX, where dX is the displacement of the scatterer. Thus the issue is to calculate the generalized conductance G. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
