Why fuse are used in electric circuit
Answers
Answer:
In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current.
Explanation:
Mark me as the brainliest.
Answer:
A fuse is a small, thin conductor designed to melt and for the purpose of breaking a circuit in the event of excessive current. During a short circuit, excessive current flows through the circuit which may damage the device and components. They are always connected in series with the components to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse blows it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the components.
