What is immaterial for an electric fuse wire ?

a
its specific resistance
b
its radius
c
its length
d
current flowing through it

detailed solution

Correct option is C

A fuse wire is required to blow off at a given current strength say iHeat Produced =i2Rt=i2ρlAtNow, msθ=i2ρlAtθ=i2ρltAms=i2ρltA(lAd)sor θ=i2ρtA2dsSo, rise in temperature is independent of length.
