Question

What is the properties of a Tungstan and a fuse wire.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Properties of Tungsten

Tungsten is a solid at room temperature and possesses the highest known melting point and lowest vapor pressure of any metals. It also has the highest tensile strength known. Furthermore, due to tungsten's excellent corrosion resistance, it is highly resilient to attack by acids.

Properties of Fuse wire

A fuse wire should have

(i) high resistivity

(ii) low melting point and

(iii) of suitable current rating corresponding to the load in the circuit.
