So, at 1Hz the law has changed, eh? What new law do I need to use?

To be pendatic, there is only one set of physical laws that govern
electromagnetics.

However for DC all the complex parts of those laws have no effect and
all the equations can be simplified to remove the complex parts.

In the real, practical world people look upon this as two sets of
laws, one for AC and one for DC.

A good example of this is the transmission line which does not exist
at DC; at DC a transmission line is nothing more than two wires with
some resistance that is totally and only due to the ohmic resistance
of the material that makes up the wires.

So, is .01Hz AC or DC, Jim? How about 1Hz? 10Hz? Where does AC begin and
DC end?

It is called a limit.

If there is NO time varying component, it is DC, otherwise it is AC.

Are you playing devil's advocate or are you really that ignorant?

Then there is no such thing as DC because even a battery looses voltage
over a period of time. DC voltage sources have noise.

Are just being argumentative or are you really that ignorant?

Even if you have a theoretical voltage source, there are no circuits
(other than imaginary) that have been on since before the big bang and
will be on for all time in the future.
