I have nokia 5233 charger which shows

Input - AC 100-240 V / 50-60 Hz / 125mA

Output - DC 5 V / 890mA

then how can i calculate power used by it in one hour?? Is there use of equation P=VI but what about time???

you are providing design numbers and not real numbers.
Yes 5V output is 5V output.
The 890mA is a maximum in real life this is lower and only during charging.

And yes DC power is P=VI
So when you measure the real current you can calculate.

so useage would be W-H or W-sec or W-m. Just be aware of the units you work with. Most people use KWH but your useage will be small - so I would recommend W-H so Watt Hours = P*t

as an example 5V * 890mA * 1H = 4.45 watt hours or divide by 1000 and you would get .00445 Kilowatt Hours

Look up the definition of power and the units, then look up the definition of energy and then units. It's all defined.
