How does fusion happen?

in dbz they do a special dance kakarotto and vegeta fuse into gogeta then later they fuse into vigito in fusion reborn they fuse into gogeta.i think fusion reborn is cool because all the villins come back alive like raditz,naapa,janemba,frieza,king cold,cooler,zarbon,dodoria,zorn the red ribbon army,bojack and so many other villins its so cool


Why should you never replace a fuse with a solid piece of metal such as a coin or nail?

Because firstly, the fuse blew for a reason and it should not be replaced until the fault has been repaired, and secondly, if it would have blown again, the coin or nail would not work the same way a fuse would; the nail/coin/whatever would not burn out and the entire system is unprotected from a surge.


Would a 2.5 a fuse blow if it were placed right next to the alarm clock?

The fate of a fuse depends on the current through it, not on the objects around it.


What happens if you fuse a proton with a electron?

If a negatively charged electron "falls into" (combines with) a positively charged proton, which does happen, it will form a neutral (obviously) neutron. Similarly, in radioactive decay, a neutron decays into one electron and one proton. This radioactive decay is due to the weak nuclear force. Hope this helps.


Why are fuses so important?

Fuses are essential for safety. A fuse is a piece of thin wire in a fireproof enclosure, and the fuse is placed in series with an electrical circuit. When a fault occurs in the equipment, excessive current could flow, which causes the fuse wire to melt, cutting off the supply. Without the fuse some other part of the circuit would overheat and perhaps cause a fire. Because the fuse is the weakest link, it protects the rest of the circuit. Fuses have to be chosen for the size of circuit they feed. A standard fuse labelled 13 amps as used in the UK is designed to let 13 amps through, and currents above that value will blow the fuse, although 14-15 amps would probably not do that over a short period. So fuses are very important because they reduce the risk of fire.

The fuse will blow as soon as you turn it on. Use the correct fuse and nothing else.


What do you think would happen if you put a 3A fuse in a plug used for kettle?

I know what would happen. The three amp fuse would blow. Any device that is plugged into a receptacle with out having sufficient resistance to limit the current flow will dead short the circuit and cause the breaker that feeds the circuit to trip. In this case the fuse being of a lower rating that the feed breaker the fuse will blow without tripping the receptacle's feed breaker.

What happen when a 3A fuse replaces a 5A blown fuse?

The device will work, but the 3A fuse will blow quicker than the 5A would have.
