Solution

Two properties of the material that makes it suitable for an electric fuse are:

  1. It should have a low melting point.The fuse wire melts as soon as when a high voltage passes through it and breaks the circuit
  2. It should have high resistance. The greater the resistivity, the higher the resistance so that the current flow decreases.
