That will depend on the function of the linear circuit and the spectrum of the AC source. Without knowing both of those things there is no way to answer this, and you haven't specified either one.
of course you can
The Superposition Theorem is used in linear circuit analysis to determine the contribution of each independent source to the overall circuit response. To apply it, you disable all but one independent source at a time: replace voltage sources with short circuits and current sources with open circuits. You then analyze the circuit to find the response (voltage or current) due to the active source. Finally, you sum all individual contributions to get the total response in the circuit.
You cannot apply ohm's law to non-linear devices. This is because, the non-linearity introduces different V-I characteristics which cannot be answered by mere Ohm's law.
there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils
To check the linearity of a circuit, you can apply a small-signal analysis by superimposing a small AC signal on top of a DC bias and observing the output response. If the output is a linear function of the input (i.e., the relationship remains proportional and the waveform shape remains unchanged), the circuit is considered linear. Additionally, you can perform a frequency response analysis or plot the input-output characteristic curve; if it is a straight line or exhibits a predictable slope, the circuit is linear. Deviations from these behaviors indicate non-linearity.
Norton’s Theorem states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources and resistances can be simplified to a single current source in parallel with a single resistor. To apply Norton’s Theorem, first, identify the portion of the circuit you want to analyze and remove the load resistor. Then, calculate the Norton equivalent current (I_N) by finding the short-circuit current across the terminals and the Norton equivalent resistance (R_N) by turning off all independent sources and calculating the equivalent resistance seen from the terminals. Finally, replace the original circuit with the Norton equivalent circuit for analysis.
Linear programming approach does not apply the same way in different applications. In some advanced applications, the equations used for linear programming are quite complex.
-- If the excitation source is AC, then the steady state of the circuit depends on the voltage, frequency, and waveform (harmonic content) of the source. -- If the excitation source is DC, then the steady state current in a series circuit is zero. DC doesn't pass through a capacitor.
Yes, Thevenin's theorem can be applied to circuits with multiple sources. To do this, you can use techniques like superposition to analyze the effect of each source independently, then combine the results to find the overall response. Once you have the equivalent circuit for the portion of interest, you can simplify it to a single voltage source in series with a single resistor, which represents the Thevenin equivalent.
The word straight doesn't really apply to an equation. However the graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
