Sometimes my power supply gets hot

I have the newest MacBook Pro 15 with the 2.5 Ghz Intel i7. I've noticed that sometimes my power transformer gets pretty when charging the laptop. Other times it doesn't get warm at all. Why would this happen? Is there something wrong with it?

Hi!

I have the exact same notebook as you.

I'm not sure that this is true, but I think that this depends on the difference in charge.

For example-- as charge from (100% - 40% = 60%) requires more time, it may heat up.

whereas, a charge up 10% won't heat up as much.
