when machine is taking electrical supply and produces flux, torque etc inside and gives mechanical (rotational) output it is MOTOR

but when this motor is connected to some thing which results in drawing current and work to be done, that thing is LOAD

without any load motor has maximum speed and by increasing load speed decreases..

Answer

Anything connected to a supply which draws current is a 'load'. 'Heavy loads' draw a lot of current, whereas 'light loads' draw little current. So a motor represents a load to the electrical supply; this applies whether the motor is driving a 'mechanical load' or not. We use the term 'mechanical load' to describe whatever (fan, compressor, pump, etc.) is being driven by a motor.
