It is a fuse or a breaker. The wire inside the fuse will burn out and will need to be replaced once the fault has be corrected. A breaker is designed to click open, so breaking the circuit.

Why do fuses break the current in a circuit?
The reason for a fuse to break the current within a circuit is to protect the circuit itself and prevent fire. When an excess of electricity (or, too much electricity for the circuit to safely handle) attempts to pass through the fuse, a physical break within the connections of the fuse occurs. By breaking the connection, the excessive electricity is stopped, and prevented from causing possible overheating within the circuit, which could result in fire and permanent damage to the circuit.
What is the function of circuit breakers and fuses?
Protection. They shut off the power to protect the equipment circuits, the main circuits and people.
How do you use series circuit in a sentence?
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What function in a circuit for a switch?
A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
What happens if there is a break in parallel circuit?
If the break is in either the feeder or return line, the circuit will become open and the circuit will cease to function.
Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
Does blu-tack break an electrical circuit?
No, an electrical approved switch is used to break an electrical circuit.
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
Can make a break in a circuit?
no
What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?
A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.
A circuit with a switch turned to the Off position or a circuit with any break is called?
a closed circuit
What is happening when you turn an electric circuit off?
When you switch off an electrical circuit you tend to create a 'break' in the circuit, preventing the electric current to flow around the circuit, this can be caused by a simple switch or a break in the circuit, e.g a disconnected wire.
Is both circuit breaker and circuit gear have same functions?
circuit breaker is break the electrical circuit .circuit gear is generator analyzer
What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
