An electrician is carrying out some repairs in your house. He wants to replace a fuse by a piece of wire. Would you agree? Give reasons for your response.

An electrical fuse is a safety device that prevents any type of short circuit due to high voltage and high electric flow through a circuit.
It is a thin wire with high resistance and a low melting point which is designed to protect our domestic electrical appliances from any kind of short circuit.

Working: If a voltage greater than normal flows through an electrical appliance, then the fuse within it melts, thereby breaking the electric circuit.

Thus, a fuse is a safety device that prevents damage to electrical circuits and possible fires.

According to the question, the electrician wanted to replace the fuse with a regular piece of wire, which is quite risky. Normal wire has a high melting point, so even when exposed to high voltage or current, it won't break the main circuit. This may lead to dangerous electrical circuits and possible fires.

So I disagree to use a normal piece of wire as a fuse.
