The concept of the screening of interparticle interactions has its origin in electrolyte and plasma theories. The most known example is the Debye-Hückel screening of the potential of the resting test charge provided with the availability of charges of the opposite sign and the total electroneutrality of the plasma. When this charge is moving, the static Debye screening decreases and an anisotropic dynamic screening develops due to excitation of waves of charge density. As a result, an effective potential of the positive moving ion becomes alternating with a characteristic length of space oscillations of order of the Debye length (Peter, 1990). Such dynamic screening is due to perturbations of charges of both signs by the varying field of moving test charge. This effect does not call for an electroneutrality of the system and is associated with the long-range character of the Coulomb interaction potential only.
