Answer:

An electric fuse is also known as a safety device as it prevents short circuits, overloading, and the failure of the device.

Explanation:

  • An electric fuse is a piece of wire which is connected in a serial manner with the live wire.
  • The fuse wire has a low melting point.

When the temperature reaches above the melting point, the fuse wire melts, and the circuit breaks. This takes place when there is a very large current or the circuit is not functioning properly. An electric fuse prevents short circuits, overloading, and the failure of the device.

So, an electric fuse is also known as a safety device.
