Question

What is the function of an element?:name the material used for making fuse. In house holdhold circuit where is fuse connected?

Answer 1

actually it uses an alloy which is made by 10 and copper because copper has a low melting point because of which it helps in certain conditions of overloading hence it helps in the proper maintenance of electricity in homes

Answer 2

The material of the electric fuse is made up of an alloy of lead and tin .

The features are as follows :

The alloy has low melting point .

The alloy has more resistance .

The fuse is connected in the live wire !

Details :

It is made up of a material which has low melting point.

This will overheat them and make them melt easily.

Thus the fuse can easily break the circuit and save it if there is any excess current flowing in the circuit.

Explanation

The fuse is generally made up of thin piece of wire so that it offers more resistance and it can melt easily.

Thus the fuse works in the heating effect of current.

H = I²Rt

H = heat .

I = Current .

R = resistance .

t = time
