Load = 1/R in most people's electrical terminology. Increasing the load means decreasing the electrical resistance. When someone says a heavy electrical load they don't mean less power. Maybe you do or maybe you are just being difficult out of boredom?
Simple question, or is it...
What exactly is an audio signal made of, and what exactly is the medium it travels through in a cable??

Bigger loads represent lower electrical resistance and/or higher power dissipation which assuming a constant voltage source means higher current. That is convention. When someone says "load up a circuit" they don't mean disconnect the circuit , i.e. increase resistance and lower current, they mean increase the conductance, i.e. lower the resistance and increase current. The load of a circuit is inversely proportional to current flow as bigger loads lower the current in a circuit. |
