8.7 CIRCUIT THEOREMS IN SINUSOIDAL STEADY-STATE ANALYSIS
Sinusoidal steady-state, as we have defined, is a concept relevant only to a linear dynamic
circuit. A non-linear circuit excited by a sinusoidal waveform may reach a steady-state; but
that steady-state will not be a sinusoidal steady-state since the response of a non-linear circuit
to a sinusoidal waveform may contain a distorted and non-sinusoidal content. Phasors and
phasor equivalent circuits are applicable only if all response variables are sinusoidal wave-
forms with a frequency equal to that of the input, i.e., only if the dynamic circuit is linear.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
