iPhone vibrates when I brush my hand while charging

When I brush my hand against my charging iPhone, I can feel it vibrating slightly. I don't feel this when I just rest my hand on my phone, or when I brush against it when it is not charging. Why is this?

iPhone SE, iOS 12

Make sure you are using an Apple charging cord and block.


Unauthorized chargers and push unregulated current into the device. This unregulated current can sometimes be felt on the aluminum casing of the device.
