RESISTIVE LOAD vs INDUCTIVE LOAD

RESISTIVE LOAD vs INDUCTIVE LOAD An electrical load is a device connected to the output of an electrical power source. Example of electrical loads are; DVD, TV, Motor, Charger and any other things or appliance you plugged in to your house hold socket or connect to the mains supply from the distribution company (NEPA). A load is something what removes electrical power from a circuit for some purpose. It can be a lightbulb, a speaker producing sounds, a motor turning some machinery, or an antenna sending radio signals. These electrical loads are however of different type. Types of Electrical Load 1. Resistive load:  It is a type of load that draws current in the same proportion with the apply voltage. They are typically used to convert current into form of energy such as heat. That is the voltage and current are of the same phase. These kind of electrical load converts electrical energy to heat. Example of resistive load include: 1. Electric heater 2. Cooker 3. Incandescen
