A simple
average won't work because the average of the voltage and current is
always zero,
Voltage and current are different things. It doesn't make sense to
combine them that way, and I think you didn't mean to.
Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. I didn't mean to
combine them in any way other than to say the average of each
(separately) is zero. I should have chosen my words more carefully.
OK. I know I've made mistakes like that before. It's too easy to do.
And, yes, as you and others have said, the whole discussion assumes a
sine wave.
Interestingly, when I was writing my earlier post (mentioning RMS and
average), I originally put in something about this material applying
only to sine waves. I took that out in consideration for those who
don't know and aren't able to understand.
