Answer:

A) Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

What is the work of a fuse in an electric circuit?

  • The fuse is made up of a very easily melting material, that's the hint.
  • "Melt to break the electric circuit " If you had this logic with yourself, then it's absolutely correct.

  • Fuse is a safety device that protects the circuit during overloading by melting and breaking the circuit.
  • It is made of Solder, an alloy of tin and lead. (Pb and Sn)
  • In recent days, fuses are replaced by MCBs which are more reliant then fuse. .
