If you used a magnetic phone charger while it was plugged in and dropped it in water while you were in the bath, would it electrocute you?

Question

NO, I am NOT planning on trying this.

I watched on the news about [a girl who was electrocuted after using her phone while charging in the bathtub and it fell into her bath.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg6nPthiuLs)

This made me wonder if it would also happen with a magnetic phone charger. Or would it only happen with a phone charger that connects inside the charging port?

FYI, I am talking about a magnetic phone charger like this one, while it is plugged in and actively charging: [https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXH3AM/A/magsafe-charger](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXH3AM/A/magsafe-charger)

This question might seem dumb, but some of us aren’t well-versed in this topic. Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I legitimately don’t know.

Your phone uses low voltage DC power to charge. The “brick” or “cube” converts wall voltage AC power(which can electrocute you) to low voltage DC power which can’t. So unless you had the cube on an extension cord and the whole thing fell in the tub it wouldn’t shock you.
