what is the difference between fuse and filament
Answers
Answer:
A fuse is a safety device that prevents a large amount of current from flowing through a circuit while a filament is a substance in an incandescent bulb usually made up of a substance called tungsten which heats up when electric current flows through it and glows giving light
Usually tungsten is used to make a filament. The fuse wire must get heated and melt whenever excess current passes through it. Hence, it must be made of an alloy with high resistance and low melting point. Usually an alloy of lead and tin is used for this purpose.

A fuse is a short piece of wire made up of a material of high resistivity and of low melting point, so that it may easily melt due to overheating when current in excess to the prescribed limit passes through it. ... This tiny coiled wire is called a filament
