Question
Choose the statement which is not correct in the case of an electric fuse.
Options
Fuses are inserted in electric circuits of all buildings.
There is a maximum limit on the current which can safely flow through the electric circuits.
There is a minimum limit on the current which can safely flow in the electric circuits.
If a proper fuse is inserted in a circuit it will blow off if current exceeds the safe limit.

Solution
There is a minimum limit on the current which can safely flow in the electric circuits.
Explanation:
In an electric fuse, there is a maximum limit on the current that can safely flow through the circuit. If the current exceeds this limit, the fuse will blow and break the circuit, preventing damage to electrical components. However, there is no minimum limit on the current that can flow safely in the circuit. The fuse is designed to protect against excessive current, not to regulate a minimum current.
