Should the fuse be connected in series or in parallel with the device? Why? Which law is applied in the making of fuse?

Answer»

Fuses are always connected in series with the device; so that any overcurrent blows the fuse and it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the component(s). An electric fuse in household’s works on the principle of Joule’s heating that heat produced due to the excess current flowing through it melts the fuse wire which cut off the circuit and hence the appliance is prevented from damage. Electrical fuses play the role of miniature circuit breakers.
