Oct 6, 2013 at 15:24 comment added Alfred Centauri @JoeHass, at your suggestion, I'll add a bit about the square wave. But, regarding the phasor analysis section, I included it precisely because the OP linked to the Wiki article on AC power.
Oct 6, 2013 at 15:11 comment added Joe Hass Yes, and since the original question involved a square wave I just wanted to make it clear that your solution could not be applied to the specific case described in the original question. Personally, since the OP was familiar with time series analysis I felt that jumping to phasor analysis might be confusing.
Oct 6, 2013 at 14:59 comment added Alfred Centauri @JoeHass, phasor (AC) analysis presumes sinusoidal excitation. There is no phasor that represents, say, a square wave so, if one is working in the phasor domain, sinusoidal voltage and current are implicit.
Oct 6, 2013 at 14:54 comment added Joe Hass And just a reminder, gentle reader, that this result applies only to sinusoidal voltage and current.
