what is the defination of fuse
Answers
Answer:
In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide over current protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it thereby stopping or interrupting the current
Fuse:-
- A fuse is a device which is used to limit the current in an electric circuit.
- The use of fuse safeguards the circuit and appliances connected in a circuit from being damaged.
- A fuse also protects a person from that damage.

Principle of fuse:-
________________
A fuse work on heating effect of a current
__________________
- The rising temperature of fuse wire depends on
- current rating and
- the radius
____________________
The fuse protect the circuit by blowing off when current in circuit exceeds the current carrying capacity of fuse due to the circuit being overloaded or short circuit. A fuse wire permits the flow of current through it only up to a certain fixed limit when is called the current rating of the fuse.
