Power = V * I
where , V is the voltage
I is current.
The main supply is called the primary and the other is Secondary.
In the step down transformer ,
Voltage at primary = 220 v
current at primary = 5 A
Hence , Input power = 220 * 5 = 1100 W
Voltage at secondary = 11 V
current at secondary = 90 A
Hence output power = 11 * 90 = 990 W
Efficiency of a transformer = ((Output Power)/(Input Power ) ) * 100
Note ; This gives the efficiency in percentage and usually the answer is expressed in percentage only.
There fore , efficiency = (990/1100)*100 = 90
