Why fuse wires are not used in a circuit containing electric circuit?

The size and composition of fuse wire is designed to "burn through" in an over current situation. That works fine as long as the current is lower than the fused rating. If you were to use the wire in the circuit then all your wire would essentially disintegrate in an over current situation.

How a fuse controls the flow of electric current in a circuit?
A fuse does not control the flow in a circuit, it limits the current in a circuit. If the load in a circuit shorts out the fuse link melts and opens the circuit and stops the current flow and prevents the wires feeding the circuit from melting and catching fire. resist
Which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
A switch, circuit breaker, fuse, or switching transistor can do that.
What is the Function of fuse in an electric circuit?
A fuse places a limit on the amount of current that can be drawn by an electric circuit by opening (blowing or melting) when the current exceeds a preset limit. This protects the circuit and the surroundings from fire or damage in the case of an overload or short circuit.
What could stop the flow if there is too much electric current?
circuit breaker or fuse
Which electric safety device easily melts whe there is overheating or overloading in the circuit?
fuse?

Are your BMW electric windows connected to a fuse?
Yes, the electric windows are connected to a circuit protection devise such as a fuse or circuit breaker.
What do you understand by the term fuse in an electric fuse circuit?
Fuse is a device that acts as a traffic controller in the electric circuit, it means it breaks the circuit when the power of current is more than what it it needed and prevents the possible damages ...
What is the main fuse?
It is a idiotic and a useless thing containing fuse and breaks the circuit when overloaded

If a fuse melts does it create an open circuit a closed circuit or a short circuit?
If a fuse melts, it creates an OPEN circuit, meaning that no current flows in the wires because it is no longer a complete circuit.
What happens to an electric motor is it over heats?
If a fuse fails to blow or a cut-off doesn't come into play, the insulation on the wires will melt and cause a short circuit.

Why every electric circuit needs a fuse?
The fuse is designed to protect the circuit under fault conditions to aleviate damage
Why do lemons kept in a glass of water appear to be enlarged?
give reasons: 1) lemons kept in a glass of water appear enlarge. 2)dispersion cannot take place through a glass slab. 3)fuse wires or miniature circuit beakers are not used in a circuit containing electriccells why? 4)a stationary charge cannot produce electric field.
