Solution

The correct option is B

13A fuse wire will be thicker, assuming same length


Thicker wires have a smaller resistance as Rwire is inversely proportional to the Area of cross –section of the wire. Thus, 13A fuse wire is thicker than 10A fuse wire because its resistance should be smaller than that of 10A fuse wire.
