Abstract: Provided are an electronic device and a control method for determining a power acquisition path at least on the basis of an attribute of power supplied from the outside of the electronic device and a state of the electronic device. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise: a battery; a charging circuit connected to the battery through a first path; and a processor operably connected to the charging circuit through a second path, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire first power for charging the battery from the outside of the electronic device by using the charging circuit; acquire second power required to perform at least one operation of the processor through the first path and the second path; and when the correlation between the first power and the second power satisfies a designated condition, acquire the second power though a third path through which the battery and the processor are connected by a switching circuit disposed between the first path and the second path.
