For an electrical power conversion process, efficiency is measured simply by dividing the output power in watts by the input power in watts and is expressed as a percentage. In power electronics, the Greek letter eta (η) is used to represent efficiency.

P = mgh/t = mgv
P = 50*10*4 = 2000w
2.5kw = 2500w

Efficiency = 2000/2500*100 = 80%
