A fuse should be made of a material of low melting point. Give reason

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A fuse is used to protect a circuit and the appliances connected in the circuit by stopping the flow of an excessive electric current. For this, a fuse is connected in series in the eircuit.
(2) When the current in the circuit passes through the fuse, ts temperature inereases. When the current exceeds the specified value, the fuse must melt to break the eircuit. For this, the material used for a fuse has low melting point
