How could you explain what a load is and what types of loads exist?

How could you explain what a load is and what types of loads exist?

Why in a "technical way"?

Is this question also yours, under a different nickname?

Why did you edit your post, after I quoted it?

As the name suggests a load is simply any component which consumes power(literally puts a load on whatever electrical system it is part of).
loads can be classified in a bunch of categories by a bunch of standards, but primarily they are of three types : resistive, capacitive and inductive.

I imagine because it sounded way too similar to the other vague, hand waving, foot in the door question...
