Answer:
*Electric fuse:
An electric fuse is an electric device which interrupts the flow of current in an electric circuit. The fuse is made up of a material which has high resistivity and low melting point, so that it melts down due to overheating of the wire during high current flow.
*Who discovered magnetic effect of current:
Hans Christian Oersted. The term magnetic effects of current means the current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field around it. Hans Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic influence of the current in the year of 1820 and noticed that a wire carrying a current could deflect a magnetic needle.
