Abstract
We apply a well known technique of theoretical physics, known as Geometric Algebra or Clifford algebra, to linear electrical circuits with non-sinusoidal voltages and currents. We rederive from the first principles the Geometric Algebra approach to the apparent power decomposition. The important new point consists in a choice of a natural convenient basis in the Clifford vector space which simplifies considerably the presentation. Thus we are able to derive a number of general results which are missing in the former papers. In particular, a natural correspondence with the Current Physical Components approach is shown.
