More like RMS power. Are you doing a DC analysis?
Ho humm.. there is no such thing as rms power. i.e. the square root of
the mean of the power waveform squared. Its a meaningless number. The
average power is the actual "real" power, i.e. the heating power
dissipated.
Average power is calculated by Vrms.Irms for sine waves. Hence, the
misnomer in incorrectly naming it rms power. Usually, most know that
"rms power" *really* means average power so this poor terminology is not
usually a problem, but your answer above post implies that this point
has not been understood. It is claiming that there is a usefull object
called rms power separate from average power. There isn't.
