There are a number of devices that break a circuit. On motor circuits an overload block opens the circuit when the motor's current goes above the motor's nameplate rating. Likewise a fuse or a breaker will open a circuit when the current goes above their rated limit. In home wiring circuits the home devices are controlled by a simple on- off switch. Electric heating circuits are controlled by thermostats that regulate the heaters by opening and closing the heater's supply voltage.
A device that opens and closes a circuit is called a switch.

A switch is a device that is used to open and close an electrical circuit that is is connected into.
There will be sparks and the device will stop working
A switch.
In the electrical trade, this device is known as a circuit breaker.
Yep. This is because the device needs the battery in order to work.
A basic manual operating switch is able to open or close a circuit. There are electronic components that will also control the working of a circuit.

Fuse is a device that acts as a traffic controller in the electric circuit, it means it breaks the circuit when the power of current is more than what it it needed and prevents the possible damages ...
A fuse is a safety switching device made of a fine wire that easily breaks when an excess current flows through it. When the wire breaks, it interrupts the circuit, protecting the electrical system from damage caused by overloads or short circuits.
