loading

n.

1. A weight placed on something else; a burden.
2. A substance added to something else; a filler.
3. An addition to an insurance premium.
4. Electricity. The addition of inductance to a transmission line to improve its transmission characteristics.

The connection of a specific circuit (called the load) to another circuit. Illustration a shows a source of electrical energy (S), a coupling circuit (C), and a load (L). In power transmission, S is the generator of the power plant, C represents the connecting transmission lines and transformers, and L is, for instance, a household with its electrical appliances. The entire system operates to supply the load demand of L, that is, the electrical energy required by the load. In a high-fidelity sound system, S is the output of the phonograph cartridge or the tape playback head, C is the amplifier, and L is the coil of the loudspeaker. See also Electric power systems; Sound-reproducing systems.

Systems (a) under load and (b) under no load.

When the load is disconnected, the system operates under no-load conditions (illus. b).

Loading is used in certain wire-line transmissions in order to improve their characteristics. This is often done by connecting loading inductors along telephone lines, or along certain data transmission circuits. These inductors reduce the attenuation of the line, thus improving the transmission of signals. Waveguides, special antennas, and coaxial cables are often loaded with specific circuits to achieve specific purposes. See also Antenna (electromagnetism); Coaxial cable; Inductor; Transmission lines; Waveguide.
