The function (s) performed by fuse is (are) (i) To carry the normal working current safely without heating (ii) To break the circuit when current exceeds the limiting current Choose the correct answer from the option given below. Correct Answer Both (i) and (ii)

  • A fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit without heating.
  • In case of any fault, heavy current will flow through fuse and it gets overheated. Hence fuse will melt at higher currents
  • So, it is used to break the circuit when current exceeds the limiting current
