Answer:
The appropriate value of the fuse to be fitted in the circuit is 3 A or 4 A.
Explanation:
As per the question,
A vacuum cleaner draws a current of 2 A from the mains supply, that is the the current required for the fuse to fit in the circuit is just greater than 2 A.
Therefore,
(a) The appropriate value of the fuse to be fitted in the circuit is 3 A or 4 A.
(b) If we fit 13 A current fuse in the circuit, because of the high current (as compared to 2 A supply current) the vacuum cleaner may blow off.

Answer:
(a) appropriate value of the fuse to be fitted in the circuit is 2.5A or 3A.
(b) If a 13A fuse is fitted in the circuit, it will not protect the vacuum cleaner against the very high current flowing through it. This may damage the appliance.
