Is it normal for a MacBook to heat up while charging?

I’ve noticed that my MacBook gets quite hot while charging, even when I’m not running any heavy applications. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

My macbook charger and macbook gets hot while charging. When charging (from 15% to 94), and using it at the same time (light web browsing), the charger head, power adapter (brick), and the mac itself get pretty hot(though the fans aren't spinning or anything) specifically the part of the mac where the charger is plugged in, the left and right palm rest, and the underside of the mac. Though the side where the charger is plugged in seems to be the hottest spot. Is this normal? I'm getting pretty worried, but I don't know if I should be.
