A fuse can be a saviour against:

Correct answer: B. High current

  • A. High voltage
  • B. High current
  • C. High power
  • D. Heating of wires

Explanation

To protect a high-voltage circuit, you need a properly rated fuse. Here are five popular examples for consideration in your next design. A fuse is simple in concept: Current flows through a thin metal wire, and when that current gets too high, the metal heats and melts, breaking the circuit.

About Steady Current

Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
