Expert Answer
Electric fuse protects circuits and appliances by stopping the flow of any unduly high electric current.
The fuse is used in series with the device.
Fuse is a piece of wire made of an alloy of appropriate melting point, for example aluminium, copper, iron, lead etc..
If a current larger than the specified value flows through the circuit, the temperature of the fuse wire increases.
This melts the fuse wire and breaks the circuit.
