  We study field configurations in a hot quark-gluon plasma with spherical
symmetry. We show that the electric fields point into radial direction and
solve the effective non-abelian equations of motions. The corresponding charge
density has a localized contribution which has a gauge invariant interpretation
as a pointlike color charge. We discuss configurations oscillating periodically
in time. Furthermore, we calculate the electric field induced by a constant
local charge that is removed from the plasma for $t>0$ as a model of a decaying
heavy quark.
