Solution
- An electrical fuse is an electrical instrument that is used to prevent damage to an electrical circuit.
- It is a metal wire of low melting point that breaks due to overheating of wire which is caused by a high voltage to avoid short circuit.
- A fuse is a circuit component made of a high-resistance substance that melts when the circuit is overloaded.
- It is constantly attached to the live wire in order to break the circuit and prevent damage to the connected equipment.
- Fuse wires are connected with the live wires so as to complete the circuit as well as safeguard the circuit from failure.
