Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

Are you really saying that if I measure the instantaneous
voltage and the instantaneous current then I can NOT multiply
them together to obtain the instantaneous power?

It certainly works some of the time.

If I can not do it all the time, when can I do it?


Actually, "multiply" is ambiguous. You need to take
the *dot product* of the voltage and current to
obtain power.
