Question

what material is used for fuse wire

Answer 1

Aloha!

----------------------------
☆ a fuse wire is a safety device which is used to protect appliances.
☆ in many cases overloading can happen and this can result in destruction of the appliances which are connected in the circuit.
☆ a fuse wire should be of low melting point.
☆ it is usually made of zinc, copper, tin etc.

Answer 2

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

Explanation :

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.

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
