    Information Booster:

    • A fuse protects electrical circuits and appliances by stopping the flow of excessively high electric current.
    • When the current exceeds a safe limit, the fuse melts, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to electrical devices and wiring.
    • It acts as a safeguard to avoid overheating and potential electrical hazards.
    • Electric meter measures the amount of electricity consumed but does not provide protection against high current.
    • Electric heater is used to convert electrical energy into heat but is not a protective device.
    • Bulb is an electrical appliance that emits light and does not serve as a protective device.
