Q: Will my magic mouse 2 charge while my iMac is sleeping?

I received a rechargeable Magic Mouse with my iMac and I am wondering if it will charge in the USB slot if the computer is sleeping?

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

It should do. Here is Apple's document about power from USB ports.

Thanks for finding this information for me, I will save it for future reference. Just before I read your reply it occurred to me to try plugging in an iPhone and observing the power indicator. It proved that, yes the USB 3 ports on my iMac are powered during sleep but not if the iMac is shut down.
