Latitude 7410, electrical field issue

Hi, When the laptop is connecting to the charger I noticed some kind of electricity, more like a magnetic field if you know what I mean. It is not zapping or strong jolt but it is there, and I'm worried that this would damage the internal components. This is a brand new laptop and I'm using the charger that came with the laptop. Is there anyway around this? A software fix or some sort of grounding wire. Not an expert here!

    Glad Dell support is helping you. I have a suggestion. Change the outlet you are using and skip any surge protector or extension cords and plug the adapter directly into a diff outlet. See if you still get the problem and let Dell Support know.

    Other than this electricity issue how are you liking the 7410? It was on one of the laptops I was looking at.
