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.
