Yeah, I know that in reality it can still be 240 volts within the +- allowable error range but I just wanted to remind everybody not to forget and use the old value.

all the calculations done above have been done with the formula for Direct Current. ie- what you get from a battery. It is a reasonable rule of thumb if you want a quick and dirty calculation but not strictly accurate for AC- alternating current- ie what comes out of your sockets! Calculation of power for AC includes whether the load is capacitive or inductive or a combination of both. The phase shift through these loads affects the power calculation. Simply multiplying Voltage and Current in AC gives something known as Reactive Power
