No. That could never happen. Phone chargers have a tranformer built into them that drops the 110 AC voltage to around 5 volt DC. That would never be enough to electricute anyone.

Does electricity flow even if nothing is plugged into the outlet?

Yes. If you hook up your phone charger, it is using a little bit over 50% power without a phone attached. No. The voltage potential of 120 volts is at the receptacle outlet slots but to make the current flow, a resistive load is needed. In the case above the phone charger is the load. Un-plug the load and no current flow.


Which type of connector does an analog modem use to plug into the phone outlet?

An analog modem typically uses an RJ-11 connector to plug into the phone outlet. This connector is a standard for telephone lines, allowing the modem to send and receive data over the analog phone network. The RJ-11 has a smaller form factor compared to other connectors, making it suitable for residential phone wiring.

How much energy does a cell phone charger use?

I have measured the usage of two cell phone chargers using a Kill-A-Watt meter. The first, a 2005ish Motorola flip style, uses 0 watts with no phone attached (or at least not enough to register one watt) and 1 watt with the phone charging. The second, a 2008 Samsung candystick style also uses 0 (or <1) watt without the phone and 3 watts with the phone. More tests would ensure these numbers hold true for other models and manufacturers. You sometimes hear that cell chargers are big users, especially if left plugged in without the phone (vampire or phantom power). Assuming my two phones are representative, they would use 12 watts or less per day, or about 4kWh per year if left plugged in without the phone.

Why does a cell phone charger continue to consume power when plugged into an outlet but not the phone?

Most electronics will consume a little power even if they are off or not in use. In the case of a cell phone charger, you may notice that if it is plugged into the wall, but there is no cell phone charging, the charger will still be warm. I don't know the physics behind that, but anything that is plugged in will take up a little energy, even when not in use.

When charging a cell phone should you plug in wall outlet first?

It really does not make much of a difference. However, I would plug in the charger into the cell phone first, THEN into the AC power socket/outlet. The reason why is that it is usually harder to attach the charger plug into the phone. If you're pushing it in and it doesn't fit, you're making a partial connection. This may tax the power protection circuitry in the phone, because the charger is already plugged into the wall. So, best to plug it into the phone first, then into the wall.
