If the conditions are right (or wrong?) you can experience an electrostatic shock after getting out of a car when going to touch the metal door of the car. The car, seat, your cloths, and your skin are all initially net neutral. When you get out of the car, your clothes rub against the seat transferring charge between your cloths and the seat. Your clothes are in contact with your skin, so the net charge your clothes picked up is transferred to the skin on your back. Even though your clothes, and thus skin, transfer charge with the seat near your back get a shock when your fingers touch the metal door of the car. Which of the fol- lowing statements must be true regarding these facts? you still (a) Your skin can act like an insulator. (b) Your skin can act like a conductor. (c) Your skin creates charge out of nowhere. (d) Your skin acts like plastic.
