Best Answer

Typically you are referring to a pure resistive load and not an inductive load. To measure a resistive load you need an Ohm meter. You can buy cheap ones for $10 to $20 on-line or at a store like Radio Shack. Usually they are combined with a volt meter.

Load-cell is what?

Load cell is an electrical device which converts mechanical force into electrical signal. Load cells are used to measure forces and weight. With load cells one can measure tensile forces and compression forces. The load cell output is fed to a ADC (analog to digital converter) which in turn gives out digital output which can be calibrated to display the force in required unit.Load cells can be broadly classified-Based on mechanical constructionCantilever or Bending beamCompressionTensileShearTorqueBased on electrical propertiesResistivePiezoelectricCapacitanceAnalogDigitalWireless


How is electrical power caculated?

The power used up by any electrical load is . . .(voltage across the load) x (current through the load) or (voltage across the load)2/(resistance of the load) or (current through the load)2 x (resistance of the load). These are all completely equivalent, and you have your choice of which oneto use, depending on which numbers you know or can measure.


What is loss load factor?

A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.

How should a voltmeter be connected to measure voltage of a component?

Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.


Can you run electrical wire's in load bearing wall?

Yes, you can run electrical wires in a load bearing wall.


What other forms of energy can electrical energy be converted into by a load?

Anything device can transform electrical energy into other form of energy. This is called an electrical load.


Is a switch a load?

No it is not considered a load. A load transforms electrical energy into other types of energy :)

What is a electrical load?

a nonlinear electrical load, like a battery charger or water heater when present in a power system produces harmonics or rather distortions which leads to improper proportionality of voltage to current. so that's an electrical load
