For most consumer electronics, there'll be a transformer within the adaptor that converts AC to DC. For the basic of the transformer, I'll just assume it's just a primary coil running the secondary coil.
So, the primary coil keeps on running at full power, as long as electricity is needed for the appliances.
Does this mean that even on standby mode, the adaptor still takes in full power from the power socket?
BTW, I determined that it keeps on running at full blast based on the idea that it's a separate circuit.
Since it is always creating magnetic field(which it must, since it's a coil), and creating even when no ones taps on it, it must run at full blast at all times.
Unless there's a way the primary circuit "automatically knows" nobody is tapping on it, it must be constantly making magnetic field at full blast.
