It has been a _long_ time since I've last thought about AC analysis in-depth,
so excuse me if I'm wrong... but with a mostly reactive load, isn't it
very easy to have the current in a circuit out-of-phase with the voltage
in the same circuit? Would this resistor then have a voltage drop proportional
to the out-of-phase circuit current? So there isn't necessarily that much
"heating power" in the circuit, after all.
