Without being acted on by an external charge your skin is neutral.
In some cases a static charge may build up on your skin, in which case your skin could be either positive or negative. This is what happens when you rub a balloon on your hair and it sticks to you.
The skin-effect is another case where a very high frequency alternating current travels only through the outermost portions of the conductor. The effect applies to all conductors, but in the case of your actual skin the current flows only through the very topmost portions. Even with amounts of current that would normally be enough to kill or injure a person, the high frequency AC electricity may pass harmlessly over the top of your skin.

What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?
No, neutrons have no charge while hydrogen atoms have a positive charge on their nucleus due to the presence of a proton.
What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?
The subatomic particles of an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons have a negative charge.
What does a neutron have a charge of?
An atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A proton is positive, a neutron is neutral, and an electron is negative. So it has a neutral charge.
Does a ion have a neutral charge?
No, an ion does not have a neutral charge. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.
Is the neutron positive or negative charge in a necleous?
neutral : neutral charge
Is the charge on beryllium positive negative or neutral?
The charge on beryllium (Be) is neutral.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If an object has both positive and negative charges in different regions, it can still have an overall neutral charge if the total amount of positive charge is equal to the total amount of negative charge. This results in a cancellation of the charges, making the object neutral overall.
What is a positive charge and particles called that have no charge?
A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
Do neutrons hold a positive charge?
no they are neither, they have a neutral chargeNeutrons carry a neutral electrical charge. Protons have a positive and electrons have a negative electrical charge.
Are neutrons positively charged?
No, neutrons have no charge, they are electrically neutral. They are composed of three quarks: one up quark and two down quarks.
What do a neutral and a positive charge do?
attract
Do positive and neutral attract each other?
both positive and negative objects attract to neutral object so yes positive and neutral will attract each other.
What is the negative positive and neutral charge in an atom called?
Proton, Electron, and Neutron +- = ----- So basically, Negative Charge-Electon Positive Charge- Proton Neutral Charge- Neutron
Is the nucleus positve or negative?
The nucleus of an atom contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, making it overall positively charged.
What particle found in the nucleus of an atom that has a neutral charge?
In the nucleus: Neutrons have a neutral charge and Protons have a positive charge
