I lost track of the 'Bottom Line' on this one.
Is the Wikipedia ok here?
Can anyone propose an improvement?
In addition to Bernie's quote, it includes
"Electricity meters operate by continuously measuring the
instantaneous voltage (volts) and current (amperes) and finding the
product of these to give instantaneous electrical power (watts) which
is then integrated against time to give energy used (joules,
kilowatt-hours etc.)."
I suspect that the rms scenario is closer to what's actually used
rather than the instantaneous scenario.
