Explain the construction of a fuse??
Answers
here is ur answer
hope it helps..
A fuse is made of zinc etc.. It should have low melting point so that when there is a high amount of voltage passing in the circuit which can cause severe damage.. it would get melt and stops it from spreading further.. It is made up of alloys which provide stable and predictable charecteristics..

❎A general Fuse consists of a low resistance metallic wire enclosed in a non combustible material. It is used to connect and install in series with a circuit and device which needs to be protected from short circuit and over current, other wise, electrical appliance may be damaged in case of absence of the fuse and circuit breaker as they are unable to handle the excessive current according to their rating limits❎
❎The working principle of a fuse is based on the “Heating effect of Current” i.e. Whenever a short circuit, over current or mismatched load connection occurs, then the thin wire inside the fuse melts because of the heat generated by the heavy current flowing through it. Therefore, it disconnects the power supply from the connected system. In normal operation of the circuit, fuse wire is just a very low resistance component and does not affect the normal operation of the system connected to the power supply.❎
