What will happen to the metal filament when the bulb blew in a circuit?

It might stop working. (Also known as fused) We can no longer use it as when one part of a system broke,the whole system will stop functioning. You might need a new bulb if that happens. Ohh and make sure you don't breathe in to much inert gas from the battery if it has melted! Just a fact. . .

How did the expression 'blew out' or 'blown' come to be used to describe when a light bulb stops working since nothing actually blows up?
The filament broke.In some rare cases the filament explodes suddenly in a very bright flash of light and the bulb makes a very clear POP noise when this happens but does not break. When you replace the bulb you will notice the glass is darkened, this dark coating is recondensed metal vapor from when the filament exploded into metal vapor. So yes, sometimes the filament not only breaks or melts when it fails but sometimes the filament does indeed blow up!

What could happen if a blown fuse were replaced with one that blew at a much higher current than the original?
The circuit or device that the fuse was meant to protect would not be protected if a fuse with a higher rating were to be used. This could result in the circuit or device being destroyed by a higher than normal current flow in a short circuit fault condition.

What happen when a fuse wire of 100 ampere is used when a circuit at home draws a maximum current of 20 ampere?
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
