That's what it's for. You send too much current through the fuse and it blows to keep the circuit from getting any more power.

Wire nuts disable electrical connection?
Wire nuts don't disable an electrical connection you have to kill the power for that. What they do is isolate the wires so that the positive and negative wires don't touch and protect you from a bear electrical connection.
Can hertz kill?
The meaning of Hertz is a unit of frequency in SI; a high frequency electrical current can kill.
What is the efficiency of battery energy to electrical energy?
Power output / Power input * 100 = %Efficiency For instance, 746 watts is equivalent to one horsepower. If an electric motor were 100% efficient, a 1HP motor would only draw 746 watts of electricity. Look in any motor catalog, and you will see that typical 1HP motors draw around 1100 watts. So: (746 / 1100) * 100 = 67.8% The example motor has a 68% electrical efficiency. You can apply the same formula to any electrical device - heaters, amplifiers, transformers, etc.
If electricity can kill you why do they shock people in A and E?
The electrical shock will stop the heart, which kills you. (It has to be a strong bolt)
Could a enlarged cranium magnum kill you?
yes it possibly could kill you unless you are careful with it ok is that good enough.
Why would it be dangerous to replace a fuse with one a higher value?
The fuse would not "blow" when the critical power loading was reached. The power going into the appliance could exceed the safety level. At best this could damage the appliance - which will usually be more expensive than a fuse. At worst, it could lead to a short circuit and a fire which could destroy property and possibly kill!
Can electrical substances kill a human?
If connected to a power source, yes. at 200 mAmps. the heart muscle could be fibrillated and damaged to the point where it loses its ability to function.
Can an electric eel have enough electrical power to kill a diver?
No. One electrical shock from an electric eel does not have enough power to kill a human, even a diver. Multiple electric shocks can cause cardiac arrest and disruption of the nervous system, but not enough to kill a person. Drowning from the shock is the biggest killer, not the shock itself.
What power did ra have?
amon re had a power that he could kill other people if they looked at him!!
What can 5400 volts of electricity power?
It could kill someone.

Does a AA battery have enough electrical power to kill you?
Not on it's own but if applied to a voltage multiplier as found in a Taser gun then yes it could. I don't think the current drain on one cell would be enough for one charge.
Could God kill the Illuminati if he wanted to?
God has the power to do whatever He wants to do.
Why do you feel a mild electrical tingle when you touch the light in your swimming pool?
You shouldn't! That is not normal, and indicates a serious electrical problem which could very well kill you. Have it checked out by a competent electrician.
What does a kill switch look like?
A kill switch is usually nothing more than a common toggle switch. It is usually installed in a hidden place and is used to disrupt electrical power to the starter motor.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of central sources of power?
the disadvantage is that the power can be powerful for human kind and it is not environmental and it could kill if it can exploded
Can a heat ray kill you?
Yes, if you were irradiated with high power microwaves, you could be cooked.
