First we have to suppose scalar numbers because this is not described as any kind of vector product That s easy for people who don t need to read this article to see but might be a struggle for the intended audience Then we have to ask what kind of voltage average RMS peak instantaneous The same questions apply for current Real instantaneous power is the product of instantaneous current and instantaneous voltage Apparent power is ordinarily the product of RMS current and RMS voltage Although the math would work for peak current and peak voltage I don t think anyone ever adopts that definition for apparent power but the newbie would t know that It s possible that the deleted section could do a better job of describing the distinctions but it s just wrong to flatly say that apparent power is the product of voltage and current
