I asked this on physics.SE, but I figured I would ask here as well seeing as though engineers tend to have a different, but useful and interesting perspective on electromagnetic theory.

To add on to the question(s) posed above, one thing that I did not ask on physics.SE originally that I feel may be fruitful to explore here is what is the physical significance of the complex conjugation operator in determining power? e.g.
