Electronic device and control method thereof

Abstract

An electronic device including a socket; a sensor configured to detect whether an object is inserted into the socket; a switch configured to control a supply of a current to the socket; a galvanizing device configured to detect the current flowing through the socket; and a processor that controls the switch based on detection of at least one of results of the sensor and the galvanizing device, wherein the processor is configured to: based on detecting insertion of the object into the socket, control the switch during a preset galvanization time, and control the switch such that the supply of the current to the socket is maintained based on a value of the current flowing through the socket during the preset galvanization time.
