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.

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.


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


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 do you measure weight with a load cell?

I measure weight with a load cell by using its ability to convert force into an electrical signal. When weight is applied, the load cell deforms slightly, and its internal strain gauges detect this deformation, producing a proportional electrical output. I then use a signal conditioner or microcontroller to interpret this output and display the weight accurately.


What is An electrical load is?

Load is simply any thing which dissipate electrical energy.


What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?

A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.

What is the relationship between an electrical line and load in a circuit?

In a circuit, the electrical line provides power to the load, which is the device using the electricity. The line carries the electrical current to the load, allowing it to operate. The load consumes the electrical energy provided by the line to perform its intended function.


Is a switch considered a load?

No, a switch is not considered a load in an electrical circuit. A switch controls the flow of electricity to the load (such as a light bulb or motor) by opening or closing the circuit. The load is the component in the circuit that consumes the electrical energy.


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

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


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.


What is the term used to designate the point in an electrical circuit where electrical work is done?

The term used to designate the point in an electrical circuit where electrical work is done is "load." The load is the component of the circuit that consumes electrical energy and converts it into another form of energy, such as light or heat.
