The rating for a fuse used in a household electric circuit is provided on the basis of:

Options

A. Resistance
B. Current
C. Power
D. Voltage

Answer

B

Explanation

In the field of electronics or electrical, a fuse is an essential device used in various electrical circuits which gives the protection from the overcurrent. • The maximum current which can flow through a fuse without melting determines its rating . For example a fuse rated at 8 A, can stand current upto 8 A. • If a current higher than 8 A flows through the fuse, it will melt and the circuit will break.
