No fault found with  why average is not zero.

This is the part I was responding  to:

I guess you meant instantaneous VOLTAGE rather than power?  Otherwise you 
would be finding the RMS value of power.
 *** You are quite correct.
 
 *** I should have said voltage or current instead of power.

When I said:
The RMS value of a power wave form is not the  same as finding the RMS
voltage value, squaring it and dividing by  resistance.
