In an electric circuit, explain why a fuse is always connected in series.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Fuses are used to control the current in an electric circuit. When more current enters the circuit, the fuse wire fuses out and the circuit becomes an open circuit.
Will the circuit be open if the fuse wire is connected parallely?
