### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Purpose of a Fuse**: - A fuse is an electrical device designed to protect circuits from excessive current. It acts as a safety mechanism to prevent damage to electrical appliances and wiring. 2. **Current Rating of a Fuse**: - The current rating of a fuse indicates the maximum amount of current that can safely pass through it without causing it to blow. In this case, the fuse has a current rating of 10 A (amperes). ...
