Cecil has not found any and would rather prattle on about
the difference between energy and power than actually understand.
I have listed a number of the laws of physics that you are violating.
Of course, energy and power are different. Consider an ideal LC
oscillator at the instant of time when the voltage on the capacitor is
maximum and the current is zero. The energy is certainly not zero and
can be calculated knowing the voltage and capacitance (assume 1000
volts and 1uf). Yet the instantaneous power is zero because the
instantaneous current is zero.
energy = (V^2*C)/2 = 0.5 joule
power = V(t)*I(t) = 0
Indeed. Power and energy are related in that power is the derivitive
with
respect to time of energy. They are very closely related. See my
other
post for the derivation.
Please prove a one-to-one correspondence between energy and power. How
can you possibly say that you are tracking all the energy when the
power equals zero and the energy does not? Good grief!
'cause that is how calculus works!? If one tracks all the flows, then
one knows where the energy is because it can only move by flowing.
Think water pipes and tanks for an analogy.
I am not sure where you think there is an error.
Again, you need to cut off your output and enable your inputs. There
are no waves during DC steady-state.
Please see my other post where this is covered.
Therefore, there are no forward
waves and no reflected waves. Therefore, you basic assumptions are
invalid. For waves to exist there must be acceleration and
deceleration of carrier electrons and such does not exist during DC
steady-state. Why don't you know that?
You, yourself, explained once how you would use the Fourier transform
to analyze such an example. After you have transformed the signal
to the frequency domain, there are enough sinusoidal waves to
keep anyone happy.
Or are you saying that a step function does not have a Fourier
transform?
