Is a function of periodic function periodic?
yes
What are periodic functions?
A nonconstant function is called periodic if there exists a number that you can add to (or subtract from) the argument and get the same result. The smallest such positive number is called the period. That is, nonconstant function f(x) is periodic, if and only if f(x) = f(x + h) for some real h. The smallest positive such h is the period. For example, the sine function has period 2*pi, and the function g(x) := [x] - x has period 1.
Which functions has a period?
You can invent any function, to make it periodic. Commonly used functions that are periodic include all the trigonometric functions such as sin and cos (period 2 x pi), tan (period pi). Also, when you work with complex numbers, the exponential function (period 2 x pi x i).
What is mean by non-sinusoidal load?
A load that is not sinusoidally varying (i.e. resembling that of a graph of the function sin(x) or cos(x)). This means the load is not cycling or periodic so it does not repeat itself over and over - which is exactly what the graph of the trig function sin(x) demonstrates.
Are pi's digits periodic?
no.
