From Wikipedia

"Note that the kWh is the product of power in kilowatts divided by time
in hours; it is not kW/h."


You may just have been unlucky - some clueless numpty on 83.70.166.120
put that change in there this morning. Fixed this afternoon.


Tracking back - It was changed on 13th Feb. (Never looked at the page
history before - interesting)


You've looking at the wrong dates - the change to "divided" was today, and
was fairly swiftly corrected.

I am 86.2.159.xx just in case I am a suspect!!


:-)

A unit of electric energy equal to the work done by one kilowatt acting
for one hour.

Therefore (I think) 80 watts is 0.08 kWh


No. 80 watts for an hour is 0.08 kWh. 40 watts for two hours is 0.08 kWh.
You need to include the time component.
