Default Revisiting the Power Explanation

It was late, but I did not think I was dreaming. You do indeed use
energy and power interchangeably and randomly.


I see you are still confused. Waves flow. Power doesn't
flow. Energy flows. Does your Bird wattmeter move while
it's indicating power or does it stand still while
indicating joules of energy passing a fixed point in
one second?



Cecil,

Keep on babbling, but remember, when you are in a hole stop digging.
