An active load torque is one that

  • A.can drive the motor as well as oppose it
  • B.always opposes the motion of the drive whichever way the drive is turning
  • C.arises only from friction between the moving parts of the machine
  • D.is present only while the drive is accelerating from rest

Answer: A

Correct answer: can drive the motor as well as oppose it

An active load carries its own store of energy and can return it - a suspended weight, a train on a gradient, a wound spring. Its torque acts in the same direction whichever way the drive turns, so it opposes a hoist and drives a lower. A passive load such as friction or a fan always opposes the motion and reverses sign when the motion does, so it can never drive the machine.
