RMS is short for root-mean-square. RMS is synonymous with the "effective
value" of a sinusoidal waveform.
Therefore, the average power for the time period of one complete cycle
or any number of complete cycles is the product of the effective volts
times the effective amperes.
That is true for the Special Case where your load is a pure
