    Dear all,
    I have an amusing experiment with my smart phone charger. That is, after charging it fully, I connect its input and output toghether, and get surprise result.
    Could you see in my youtube clip and give your explanation here

    Thanks
    Thinh Nghiem

    You need to explain , in words, what you found when you did this and why you find it surprising.

    This is a simple experiment. The device here is a charger which I use to charge my smartphone.
    First of all, I charge it fully. Then I connect the input and output toghether with a cable.
    I see the red light as if it was charged. But actually it was discharged and finally all of its energy was out

    This is not "surprise result." It is basic thermodynamics.

    The phone thinks it's charging because you have a powered cable connected to its charging port, but it's expending energy on producing light and such, so eventually it'll run out.
