RMS isn't relevant. I know that RMS doesn't take into
consideration the frequency range of what's being measured,
but that's as much as I know so far.


"RMS" is relevant as it refers to the way that current and voltage are
measured in order to get power. "Power" is relevant - it's current x
voltage. But RMS is an average value over time, so multiplying RMS power
by RMS voltage give you Average Power. "RMS power" is the misnomer. It
got that way because people who don't know what RMS is but know that
it's measured just started calling it that.
