Why is copper used in fuses?
Copper is used in the contact points in fuse boxes because it will oxidize and you can separate the points of contact. If it was made if iron and rusted, it will 'weld' the link together and then it is no longer a fuse.
Which material is used of soldering wire?
copper
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
Which material is using for fuse wire?
zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, alloys or metals that have low melting point
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
Which metal is used to make a safety fuse wire and what it is called?
kundi
What material is used to make galvanometer wire?
phosphor bronze

Which alloy is used to make electric fuse?
Solder ( an alloy of Lead and Tin) is used to make fuse wire because of its very low melting point.
Does the material used for a fuse wire need to have a low or a high melting point - a low or high ductility - a low or high resistivity?
The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.
Why can't copper wire used as a fuse wire?
Metal with a lower melting point is preferred for fuse wire to reduce the risk of fire.
What is a fuse wire?
A fused jumper wire is just a wire with or with out alligator clips that has a fuse on it. It can be either buss or blade fuse. You can make one with some parts at autozone or similar parts store.
What material is used to make an electromagnet?
take any magnetic material wrap a metal wire around it which conducts electricity and pass electricity through it
Which material is used of soldering wire?
copper
Which do you think melts faster the wires in a circuit or wire that make up a fuse?
The fuse wire is thinner and it's designed to melt faster.
Why can not copper wire be used as a fuse wire?
The fuse needs a low melting point and reletivelyhigh resistance so that it melts at the proper current
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
