"Load resistor" is a discriptor, not a value.

Any resistor can be a load resistor if it is the proper value and power for your application.

So if you want a load resistor by itself, that makes no sense. A load resistor is a resistor selected for a specific purpose. For example, it you want to put a load on an audio amplifier made to drive an 8 ohm speaker to 50 watts, then your load resistor would be a 8 ohm 50 watt resistor.

If you want a load resistor to terminate a 50 ohm line, you would need a 50 ohm resistor, although in this case, you probably want one that is part of a co-ax connector.

A load resistor for an op-amp output is typically 2k, since most op-amps are rated for 10 volts at 5 mA. Etc, etc.

i think it is high value resistance as it is used in Transformers to get the output voltage.

How does load current varies with the load resistance?

Load current is related to load resistance by an inverse relationship. The load current increases linearly as load resistance decreases. Remember, the less resistance, the more current.


Is every resistance load resistance?

No. Load resistance is the value of the element actually doing the work of the circuit it is connected to. A speaker connected to an amplifier is the load.


What will happen when source resistance equals load restiance?

when source resistance and load resistance are equal maximum power is transfered


What is the definition of the resistance arm?

The resistance arm is the side of the lever (from the fulcrum to the load) that carries the load.


Is load the same as resistance?

Depending on who is asking about, it could be. But strictly speaking, no. When referring to "load", this could be resistance and reactance (Load at a certain power factor).


If you doubled the load resistor in a wheatstone bridge. the load current would not be half as much Why not?

Because by increasing the load resistance, the total circuit resistance is reduced. This means with less resistance, there is more current drawn from the source. Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current.


What are the specifications of resistance?

What is the relation between internal resistance and load resistance when current is constant in the circute?

The total resistance of a circuit is the sum of the supply's internal resistance and its load resistance, because they are in series with each other. This is true regardless of the magnitude of, or the variation in, the current.

What are Ac load lines in an amplifier and how they are drawn?

The dc load resistance is Rc but the AC Load resistance is (RcRl). If a load line is drawn the slope of which is -1(Rc Rl) . Then it is called an AC load line and it is to be used when the transistor is operating as an amplifier.
