Why is charge on a conductor stable?
Yes that's right, for a charged conductor the electric field outside the surface is directed such as to pull charge off the surface. The reason the charge doesn't leave the surface is to do with what ...

Coaxial cable and faraday cage: why those shielding properties precisely?
But is it still true in the context of wave propagation?
Yes, a coaxial cable still has its shielding effect during wave propagation.
If I assume I send a current pulse on the outer shield, will it ...
