What is an Electrical load?

A simple explanation of an electrical or electronics load.
Anything that is connected in an electrical or electronic circuit that uses electrical power is an electrical load. The purpose of all electrical circuits is to operate something, that something is called a load. All loads convert electrical energy into another form of energy.
Simple examples are lights, TV, motors, etc. Light converts electrical energy to visible light and motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Thank you for a quick and simple explanation of what an electrical load is!

Thanks Israel Hernandez, glad you liked it. Are you studying electrical/electronic or working in the field? Any other videos you would like to watch?

[@garybrown2039]

​@@infinisparkHi, I'm sorry to bother you but I have a quick question. Were you able to measure current here? And if so, could you explain how you did it or possibly make a video on it?
Because I made a very similar design. And I can get a voltage and even light a light bulb but I can't get current.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

I like your pace and pictorial examples. May I suggest adding something at the end? That you also say what happens to the electrons, the moving charge, after their energy is converted into other forms of energy.
Thank you! ☺

Hello Miriam, I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the suggestion, we may add that in future revisions.
Thanks

Hey Huss, what determines how many Watts an appliance requires to work..i.e A toaster?

[@infinispark]

Hey Craig,
I believe that it depends on the parts and components the manufacturers install to satisfy a certain requirement. The purpose of a toaster, for example, is to give enough heat to toast, to produce heat they use a heating element, heating elements tend to be resistive in nature and more power this element draws, more heat it'll produce. A 1000w toaster will have a different element(s) than 2000w and the latter is capable of producing almost twice the amount of heat.
Same goes for other loads like a motors and lamps but their purposes are different so the internals components will be chosen accordingly.
I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know and I'll give some more examples.
I'm glad you're still enjoying the videos mate.
