Question

Why is a fuse wire made of alloy of metals

Answer 1

Fuse wire is made of a tin-lead alloy and not copper because of the following reasons: 1. They have high resistance due to high resistance the wire heats up quickly, when large current flows. ... They have low melting point which melts and breaks off the circuit if the current is larger than the safety limit.

Answer 2

Hey friend... Here is your answer..
It's is because
1- alloy of metals have low melting points due to which it can easily break when there is high voltage
2 - alloy of metals have high resistance

HOPE that it will help you...
