A fuse is a passive device with a conductor that melts when it gets too hot due to the lack of resistance from the load on the circuit.

Can you use a 15 amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse for your car gauges?
It is NEVER a good idea to use a higher value fuse. The reason for the 10 Amp fuse is that it blows at 10 amps which the wire and device being protected is designed to handle. If you substitute 15 amps and that amount of current flows in your device, it may destroy the device and other things in the path of the current.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.

What device protects an electrical circuit?
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
Where the fuse is connected in the circuit?
the fuse is placed in series with the device
What causes the ac fuse's to keep blowing out all the time?
The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.
Which safety device will melt if the current is too big?
This safety device is called a fusible link that is situated inside of a fuse cartridge.
What device is used as a form of safety device in an electrical circuit?
A fuse or circuit breaker will fit this description.
What will happen to a safety device if there is short circiut?
If your reference to a safety device is a fuse, then if there is a short circuit, the circuit will be de energized by the opening of the fuse.
Which device did William oughtred invented?
the fuse
What is a protective device in the current path that melts?
A Fuse
This device will burn out before an appliance is ruined?
A fuse
What fuse is the fuel pump fuse?
A fuse is an electric device that interrupts the flow of electric current when overloaded. The fuse pump will therefore perform the similar task.
Can you replace 5A fuse with a 15A fuse for hot water cylinder?
No. The device is fused at 5 A for a reason. A larger fuse will allow more current to flow than the device can handle, possibly causing a fire or shock hazard.
