  But also the relationship is different then.
  In switching mode for example, device dissipating power is proportional
with voltage drop across device and flowing current only in t_on and t_off
time. ( where t_on is comutation time between low and hi state and t_off
is the reverse ) So in that expression we have also an integral. Which is
missing under linear usage of device. This is the only difference.
