To solve the problem, we need to use the relationship between the fusing current and the radius of the fuse. The key relationship is that the square of the fusing current (I) is directly proportional to the cube of the radius (R) of the fuse: \[ I^2 \propto R^3 \] This can be expressed mathematically as: ...
