A "load" in an electrical circuit is simply an electrical device that consumes power from the POWER SOURCE when it's connected to power and the circuit is live.

Ohm's Law is simply a math triangle electricians use to calculate Voltage, Amps, and Resistance in a SUPER EASY way. It's all based on RESISTANCE being constant.

In electrical circuits we have a power source and electrical loads. A power source is what provides power to the circuit, whether it's an AC or DC circuit, and an electrical load CONSUMES power from that power source.
