A.
High resistance and low melting point
AnswerB.
High resistance and high melting point
C.
Low resistance and high melting point
D.
Low resistance and low melting point
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Fuse is a piece of wire of a material with a very low melting point. When a high current flows through the circuit due to overloading or a short circuit, the wires gets heated and melts. As a result,the circuit is broken and current stops flowing.
