The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding fusible alloys of lead with bismuth and silicon, we need to identify which of the given options (Wood's metal, Lipovitz alloy, and Rose's metal) are indeed fusible alloys used for applications such as soft solder, electric fuses, safety plugs for boilers, and automatic water sprinklers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fusible Alloys**: - Fusible alloys are mixtures of metals that melt at low temperatures. They are used in applications where a low melting point is essential, such as in safety devices and soldering. 2. **Identifying the Alloys**: - The question provides three alloys: Wood's metal, Lipovitz alloy, and Rose's metal. We need to determine their compositions and melting points. 3. **Wood's Metal and Lipovitz Alloy**: - Wood's metal is also known as Lipovitz alloy. They are the same alloy and are composed of: - 50% Bismuth (Bi) - 27.6% Lead (Pb) - 13.3% Tin (Sn) - 10% Cadmium (Cd) - This alloy melts at a low temperature range of 73 to 77 degrees Celsius. 4. **Rose's Metal**: - Rose's metal is another fusible alloy composed of: - 50% Bismuth (Bi) - 28% Lead (Pb) - 20-25% Tin (Sn) - It melts at a slightly higher low temperature range of 95 to 98 degrees Celsius. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both Wood's metal (Lipovitz alloy) and Rose's metal are fusible alloys that meet the criteria mentioned in the question. Therefore, the answer to the question is that all of the given options are fusible alloys. ### Final Answer: All of the above (Wood's metal, Lipovitz alloy, and Rose's metal) are fusible alloys. ---

Electric fuse is a protective device used in series with an electric circuit or an electric appliance to save it from damage due to overheating porduced by strong current in the circuit or application. Fuse wire is generally made from an alloy of lead and tin, which has hifh resistance and low melting point. It is connected in series in an electric installation. If a circuit gets accidentally short-circuited, a large current flows, then fuse wire melts away, which causes a break in the circuit. The power through fuse (F') is equal to heat energy lost per unit area per unit time (h) (neglecting heat loses from ends of the wire). P = I^2R = h xx 2pirl [R = (rhol)/(pir^2)] where r and l are the length and radius of fuse wire, respectively. A Battery is described by its emf (E) and internal resistance (r). Efficiency of battery (eta) is defined as the ratio of the output to the input power. eta = (Output power)/(Input power) xx 100% But I= E//(R+r), input power = EI. Output power = EI - I^2r , then. eta = ((EI - I^2r)/(EI)) xx 100 = (1-(Ir)/E) xx 100 =[1 - (E/(R+r)) (r/E)] xx 100 = (R/(R+r)) xx 100 We know that output power of a source is maximum when the external resistance is equal to internal resistance, i.e., R = r . The maximum power rating of a 20.0 Omega fuse wire is 2.0 kW. This fuse wire can be connected safely to a DC source (negligible internal resistance) of
