What do you mean there is no
convention describing instantaneous current flow for AC?

What do *you* mean by it? I never said anything like that.


From _University_Physics_ by Young and Freedman, 9th edition:

"i = I cos(wt) where 'i' is the instantaneous current ..."

Yes, you'll also find that in one of my earlier posts in this thread.
Cecil, why don't you wait until you've finished learning this stuff
before you begin lecturing to me about it. I learned it a long time
ago.
