A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area $m^2$ . Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning?
This was a question in my textbook and the answer given is
Yes. The steady discharging current in the atmosphere charges up the aluminium sheet gradually and raises its voltage to an extent depending on the capacitance of the capacitor (formed by the sheet, slab and the ground).
I am not able to understand it, can such small current create charge in the sheet, enough to cause an electric shock?
