When you plug your smartphone into a charger, it starts getting power, but that doesn’t always mean it’s slowing down. Like when you're eating and still running around the house, your phone keeps doing stuff while it charges. It might be sending messages, playing music, or even updating apps in the background. All of those things use power, just like you need energy to run while you eat. That's why your phone feels like it's working hard even though it’s charging.
Examples
- You watch a video on your phone while charging, that's using energy even though the charger is plugged in.
- Your phone downloads new apps in the background while still being charged.
