   When I was in High School I took a  Electric class.   
   There was a 6Volt Battery , some assorted length wires with battery clips on   
   each end and some homemade Resistors with wire wrapped around a strip of   
   Bakelite.   
   The Teacher gave us Schematics showing Series,circuit to calculate the Voltage   
   and Current we should get when we assembled the circuit and then used a VOM to   
   see the readings on the circuit.   
      
   We were told to ALWAYS wire the circuit up first , connect the VOM and then put   
   the battery clips on the battery.   
      
   When I charge my ell phone I put the USB C plug in the jack on the phone and   
   then plug the other end in the A.C. socket.   
      
   When it is charged up I unplug the A.C.  plug from the socket and remove the   
   USB C plug from the phone   
      
   I know it is only 5 Volts but I do it that way.   
      
   Most folks I see unplug the wire from their phone first , then unplug the A.C.   
   end.   
      
   Probably doesn't matter, but I'm set in my ways
