You venture out on a cold winter morning to warm up your vehicle. You have layers of cotton/polyester blend clothes on and from walking on carpeting you have accumulated a net negative charge. Your car is considered a neutral conductor. As you place your hand near the door handle (without touching it) what happens to the charges of your car?
