We investigate the admittance of a metallic quantum RC circuit with a spinful single-channel lead or equally with two conducting spin-polarized channels, in which Majorana fermions play a crucial role in the charge dynamics. We address how the two-channel Kondo physics and its emergent Majoranas arise. The existence of a single unscreened Majorana mode results in non-Fermi-liquid features and we determine the universal crossover function describing the Fermi-liquid to non-Fermi-liquid region. Remarkably, the same universal form emerges both at weak transmission and large transmission. We find that the charge relaxation resistance strongly increases in the non-Fermi-liquid realm. Our findings can be measured using current technology assuming a large cavity. ; Comment: 5 pages, 1 fig
