A proximity fuse is an electronic device that allows a projectile to be exploded within range of a target. For boots-on-the-ground soldiers, this weapon would be invaluable to their success and safety.

What is misuse of a fuse?
The misuse of a fuse is when the wrong value of the replacement fuse is used in placement of the original value of the fuse.
Describe three technological advances during World War 2?
RADAR, SONAR, the proximity fuse,
Is the M732A2 a fuze wrench?
No, it's not a wrench. It is an adjustable proximity fuse used in artillery. Now superseded in modern armies by an improved version.
What is the function of proximity sensor?
A proximity sensor is designed to detect when something comes into a given range of the object in which it is installed. For example, car manufacturers are beginning to use proximity sensors in car bumpers to aid drivers in parallel parking. When a vehicle is maneuvering and comes near another parked car, it gives off a warning. In naval warfare, submarines fire torpedoes which are wired with a proximity fuse which will detonate the payload when the weapon gets near the target.
How missile blast when it is closer to the target?
The warhead in some missiles is configured with a proximity fuse which is designed to detonate the payload when the missile reaches a preset distance from the target.
What does the value of a fuse mean?
The value of a fuse shows how many volts of electicity it will allow to pass through until it cuts out. For example a fuse saying 5A will allow anything up to 5A to pass through but if any more than that flows into it, the fuse will cut out.
What value of fuse that can replace a blown 4A fuse?
You could replace it with a 3A fuse. You should never replace a fuse with one which is rated higher.
Where is the radiator cooling fan fuse in a 2000 Saturn sl2?
The fuse locations are generally under the dash, under the hood or under the rear seat. You can hotwire the fans to the battery to check their operation. Assuming they are fine, there will be a fuse and/or relay and/or a fan relay module that is usually mounted to the body down underneath the motor compartment in relative proximity to the radiator/fans.
What is fusing current?
The fusing current is a value of current that causes the fuse to melt and interrupt the flow of current. Usually, reference is made to the minimum fusing current which is the smallest value of current that will cause the fuse to melt.
Can you use a 20 amp fuse for a 15 amp surge protector safely?
No. If you use a larger fuse you are not protecting the device which has a rating of a lesser value.
What is the difference between a fuse and circuit?
a fuse main purpose is to quickly disconnect a short circuit. when the current passing through it exceed its rated value
What was the most advenced fuse during World War 2?
The proximity fuse. This was a tiny radar set fitted into the nose of the artillery shell. Very useful against aircraft. With the proximity fuse it was no longer necessary to score a direct hit, or set the fuse to detonate the shell just as it was passing near the enemy aircraft, which was almost impossible to do and was a matter of pure luck. With these new, super-secret fuses all the shell had to do was pass near the enemy plane and the fuse would detonate it when close enough to cause fatal damage. These highly secret shells were only used by the US Navy for most of the war, and were only fired over deep, open water, never over land, to avoid the possibility that an unexploded one might fall into enemy hands.
