उत्तर
No. Tin is employed because it reduces the lead-tin alloy’s melting temperature, causing the fuse to melt rapidly when too much current flows and disrupts the circuit. A lead-copper alloy would not melt readily and would not function as an efficient fuse since copper has a significantly higher melting point.
