Q: If the value of a fuse is 8A, then:
  • A. The fuse will start working only when the current is greater than 8A
  • B. The fuse will have a magnetic induction of more than 8
  • C. The fuse will melt if the current exceeds 8A
  • D. The fuse will only work if the current is exactly 8A
Correct Answer: Option C - A fuse is a safety device that protects the electrical circuit from overload and short circuits. It is made of a metal with low melting point. According to the question if the value of the fuse is 8A and exceeds the current 8A, the fuse will melt. Due to this, electrical equipment is saved from burning.
