Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A fuse is a piece of wire with a very low melting point which acts as a safety device that is to be built into an electrical system. If there were no fuses and many appliances were operated on a single circuit, the cable carrying the power for that circuit would get extremely heated, leading to a short circuit and may even start a fire. Fuses are built to trip or blow the circuit to stop the current flow to the overloaded cable to prevent such electrical overloads.
