Answer:

Fuses are the protectors, these are the safety devices which are used to protect the home appliances like televisions, refrigerators, computers with damage by high voltage. The fuse is made up of thin strip or strand of metal, whenever the heavy amount of current or an excessive current flow is there in an electrical circuit, the fuse melts and it opens the circuit and disconnects it from the power supply. Also, it works as a circuit breaker or stabilizer which protects the device from damage.In the market, many types, features, and design of fuses are available nowadays. Their strips are made up of aluminum, copper, zinc & it is always connected in series with the circuit to protect from overcurrent in the running cables. Here is the basic circuit diagram & symbol of the fuse.

Fuses are used for the prevention of home appliances from the short circuit and damage by overload or high current etc. If we don’t use fuses, electrical faults occur in the wiring and it burns the wire and electric appliances and may starts fire at home. The lives of television, computers, radios and other home appliances may also put at risk.
