Fuses are used in circuits for one reason only. The fuses are there to protect the conductors from a higher than normal operating amperage.
Each type of conductor has a current limit set out by the electrical code book. If the circuit amperage gets over that limit, the fuse will open the circuit and remove the voltage source from the circuit.

What is the difference between AGC and ABC fuses?
AGC fuses have glass body. ABC fuses have a ceramic body.
Do all currents provide the same amount of energy?
Of course not! There is no direct relationship between electric current and electric energy. They aren't even measured in the same units. Also in most cases small electric currents provide less electric energy that very large electric currents. If all electric currents provided the same electric energy then the electric current from a flashlight battery that lights the bulb when you turn the switch on could provide the same electric energy as the electric current in a lightning bolt when it strikes... therefore every time you turned on a flashlight the electric energy would destroy the flashlight and electrocute you! As this doesn't happen, the only answer that your question can have is no!
