The illustration below has a horn in place of the lamp. Any device such
as a lamp, horn, wiper motor, or rear window defogger, that consumes
electricity is called a load. In an electrical circuit, all loads are
regarded as resistance. Loads use up voltage and control the amount
of current flowing in a circuit. Loads with high resistance cause less
current to flow while those with lower resistance allow high current
rates to flow.
