Answer 2

Answer:

• The name given to the device which automatically cut off the electrical supply during short circuiting in household wiring is called as Fuse.

Explanation:

• A fuse is a device by which the circuit is protected in case of short circuits, overheating and other problems like device failures.

• It is generally made up of plastic or fibreglass which melts when excess or abnormal amounts of currents flow through the circuit thus saving the devices from destruction.

• This are often employed as safety measures in household circuits.

• They are generally used for a single time and then disposed off, but now reusable fuses are also used.
