What is the purpose of fuse in an electrical circuit?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
An electric fuse is a device which is used to Ii m it the current in an electric circuit. The use of a fuse thus safeguards the circuit and appliances connected in that circuit from being damaged. It is a short piece of wire made of an alloy of lead and tin. If the current passing through the fuse exceeds the safeguard Ii m it the heat produced melts the fuse and this breaks the circuit.
उत्तर २
Fuse is a safety device which is used to limit the current in an electric circuit.
