Fuses work by melting when a current that is too high flows through them. This prevents the current from damaging the circuit or the equipment that is connected to it.

If a circuit requires a higher current, a circuit breaker is used instead. Circuit breakers are similar to fuses in that they work by interrupting the flow of current when it becomes too high. However, circuit breakers are able to handle higher currents than fuses, and they can be reset after they have been tripped. This makes them a more reliable way to protect circuits and equipment from damage.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they are higher than the maximum current that a fuse can
