Question

can we use copper wire as a fuse? Give reason.

Answer 1

No,we can't since copper wire has low resistivity and high melting and boiling point
So usually fuse is made with alloys of copper

Answer 2

Hey friend,

Here's your answer,

No, we can not use copper wire as a fuse. This is because this metal has a high melting point and is also a very good conductor of electricity.

A fuse is generally made of a material which has a very low melting point and can break off the circuit if excessive current is passed.

On the other hand, Copper wire has a very good conductivity and also because of it's high melting point, it doesn't melts and since the circuit is not broken, it causes a threat to the electrical appliances.

Hope this helps!!!!
