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 is the charge of lysine in a neutral pH environment?
In a neutral pH environment, the charge of lysine is positive.
Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?
No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.
What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
What are the subatomic particles of an atom and what are their charges?
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - 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.
Is the charge on beryllium positive negative or 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.
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.
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
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.
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.
Is the nucleus positive due to the neutrons?
No. Neutrons have a neutral charge. The nucleus is positive due to the presence of protons which have a positive charge.
What do a neutral and a positive charge do?
attract
Is the charge of a nucleus positive negative or zero The charge of an atom?
The charge of a nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The charge of an atom overall is neutral, as the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) in a neutral atom.
What is the positive charge for paraffin wax?
Paraffin wax does not have a positive charge, as it is a neutral substance.
