Norbert,
What do you mean by "average amplitude?"
Power is joules / second. volts are joules / coulomb. amps are
coulombs / second. v * i = joules / second, or power. If you
integrate v * i over time, you get the total joules over that time.
If you then divide the total joules by the time period T, you get
power back again.
Randy, this is about what a specific software program does, ie. about what
the designer of it means.
Agreed, and the thread you interrupted is about the operations the
designer might have implemented, given the common meanings of power and
averaging.
