The time dependent behavior of a plasma which surrounds a highly biased conducting sphere is considered. This plasma is treated as either a cold two component fluid or as a warm plasma whose time development can be found by solving the Vlasov equation. Both models demonstrate oscillatory behavior, but the electric fields predicted by the models are quantitatively quite different in regions close to the surface of the sphere and very similar otherwise. A broadening of the electron distribution function with time is observed indicating local heating of the plasma near the surface of the sphere
