Solution

Fuse is a safety device that protects electrical circuits from the effects of excessive currents.
We can use such wire which has a low melting point and high resistivity as fuse wire.
The wire which has a low melting point can easily break down once a large amount of current flows through it.
Therefore, the alloy of tin and lead is used as fuse wire.
