They protect the rest of the circuit when the current goes to high, usually, because of a short circuit
short circuit means a very low resistance is connecting the source terminals
then according to ohm's law,
Current = Voltage / Resistance
I = V/R
as R -> 0
I -> Infinity
assuming a fuse of 10A, when a short circuit occur, the current starts getting high
once it passes the 10A limit of the fuse, the circuit gets disconnected from the source
A Fuse is an electrical element used in electrical circuits to give protection to the systems against high current flow.It prevents the hazardious conditions as a safety device.

Do electric fires take thirteen amp fuses?

Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.

timing belt broke?
What are the common fuses for household use?
In tht UK, common fuses used in the plugs are 3 amp, 5 amp and 13 amp. We have rather seperseded fuses at the main distribution points domestically by installing re-settable circuit breakers, and they have ratings between 6 amps and 80 amps depending on what the circuits are supplying.
Why do you need fuses?
We need fuses to make things that we buy with plugs work, like kettles, hair dryers and other important things that we use all over the home. Other wise without them noting work would unless it was powered by batterys.
How do you check if you have spark at the spark plug wires?
you would take out the spark plugs still attached to the spark wires. place the metal of the plugs onto a grounded metal spot. make sure they are not touching in order to prevent damaging them or blowing fuses.
Are homes on a series circuit?
No. Plugs, lamps and 220 V a.c. items are in parallel with the breakers.CorrectionAll loads are in parallel with the supply voltage, but in series with the circuit breakers or fuses.
