Many people forget to switch off the phone after removing it from charging. In such a situation, the question arises whether the empty charger plugged into the socket consumes electricity. Let's know the answer to this question...

Yes, an empty mobile charger plugged into the socket also consumes electricity, even when no device is connected to it. This happens because the capacitor installed inside the charger keeps converting electricity from one form to another. When you plug the charger into the socket, it goes into standby mode.

In this mode, the charger consumes a little electricity so that it can remain on and start charging when a device is connected. It consumes a small amount of electricity, but you can save some electricity by unplugging the charger. Only the phone charger plugged into the socket consumes about 0.1 to 0.5 watts of electricity.
