Answer 1

use of fuse

Explanation - 

The use of electric fuse is the most important method used for protecting home appliances from short-circuiting or overloading.

Generally, thin wire with a low melting point having a specific rating is connected in series with the electric devices. When the current passing through the fuse exceeds a specific value then by the heating effect of current it melts and breaks the circuit.
