Answer:
No, we cannot use copper wire as fuse wire because the melting point of copper is higher and resistance is low and hence, current can flow through it without melting it or breaking the circuit and it can't be limited.

Copper has a higher melting point than the tin used in fuse wire. So, when a high level of current runs through copper wire, it continues to heat but will not melt. Instead, it causes a short circuit - potentially ruining your appliance and sparking a fire.
