It seems your idea of wattage is an issue.Wattage is just a measurement of work done or power consumed.Voltage and current will fluctuate according to Ohms law, but the total amount of work being done(watts) will stay the same.Anyway, it is practically impossible to transfer all the energy, there are losses in both the coils' core and the copper winding, as well as back EMF in the primary.As far as time goes, it is related to the amount of resistance in the secondary and plug/wire.The time is L/R where L is the inductance of the secondary circuit.

BTW Vicious, electrons can only be negative and "flow" from negative to positive.
