Question

Fuse wire for household connections supplying electricity upto 15a maximum is made of

Answer 1

The commonly used materials for fuse elements are tin, lead, silver, copper, zinc, aluminum, and alloys of lead and tin. An alloy of lead and tin is used for household fuse wire connection with a current rating below 15 A.

Answer 2

A fuse is a very important device used for protecting electric circuits. It is a wire made out of a metal like tin or tin alloy having a very low melting point. When a high current flows through a circuit, the fuse wire gets heated or melts due to short-circuiting or overloading. Hence the circuit is broken and the current stops flowing. This saves all the appliances of the circuit.

hence, fuse wire for household connections supplying electricity upto 15A maximum is made of metal like tin or tin alloy.
