Behavior of Current in an AC mains wire

[HAgdn]

Homework Statement

Suppose an electrical socket is connected to the AC mains. This AC mains is producing a near-pure sinusoidal wave of voltage.

Now, if you are to connect a non-linear load on the socket and characterize the draw current of the load, will the current running in the AC mains wire to the socket will also be non-linear?

If your load is the only load, yes, at least as far back down the line as the last power conditioning circuit.
