question :-
explain the importance of using fuse in a household electric circuit
Answers
Explanation:
Complete answer:
They have low melting point and high resistance. When the high current flows through the circuit the fuse wire will melt and the circuit is broken and the appliances will be saved from damage. A fuse is needed in any AC or DC electronic circuit.
A fuse is needed in any electrical system (AC or DC). These protection devices react to the amount of heat being produced by electricity passing through wires and/or components. They are used so as to protect wires and components from the extreme heat produced should there be an electrical overload or short circuit.If the current exceeds the safe limit, the fuse melts and breaks, the circuit then becomes open and prevents the flow of current into the household circuit thus preventing the electrical appliances in the circuit from being damaged
