formed by the outlet back straps and the metal box. Replace one of the two fixing screws with Nylon, and slip a Nylon washer between the outlet and the box.
The outlet back straps and metal box form a one-turn transformer with the hot and neutral AC wires that pass on either side of the strap. Current delivered by the outlet causes current to flow through the back strap and box unless you break the loop.
