(a) A fuse is a short piece of wire of high _________ and of material low _________.
(b) A fuse wire is made of an alloy of ________ and ________. If the current in a circuit exceeds the current rating of the fuse wire it _________.
(c)A fuse is connected in ________ with the ________ wire.
(d) Higher the current rating, _______ is the fuse wire.
(e) Live wire is also called __________ wire.
Solution:
(a) A fuse is a short piece of wire of high resistance and of material low melting point.
(b) A fuse wire is made of an alloy of lead and tin. If the current in a circuit exceeds the current rating of the fuse wire it melts.
(c) A fuse is connected in series with the live wire.
(d) Higher the current rating, thicker is the fuse wire.
(e) Live wire is also called phase wire.
