Kinda, it’s half the power because the power goes like the temporal average of the current squared, the current oscillates like sine or cosine, and the temporal average of a sine or cosine squared is 1/2.
Ah, so that’s why it’s half power compared to DC, makes sense.

Unless the AC is a square wave, in which case stuff becomes different.
Not really.
Where on earth would Mains be a square wave?
Low quality UPS Inverter
That’s not what Mains means.
As far as the appliance cares, it is the only input power it gets at that time.
