Answer» Solution :The material used in the fuse wire should have a low meltingpoint and a low resistance. Generally, the fuse wire is thin, made of copper, aluminium, iron, ETC., all tin-PLATED or lead- plated. If a fuse is connected in series, the fuse wiremelts when a high current FLOWS and the CIRCUIT is broken. If it is connected in parallel, even if the fuse melts, current flows the remainingpart of the circuit . Thus, a fuse is always connected in series.
