The problem of finding the density of ac energy and the ac power flow in an electron beam, originally uniform in velocity and charge density, which interacts with a weak electromagnetic traveling wave, is considered. For the problem to be significant, the way in which the traveling wave is built up must be specified and the energy and power flow turn out to depend upon the method of establishment.
