Why is fuse used in household wiring system?

We use fuses to protect the electrical circuit from overloading If the current exceeds the safe limit, the fuse melts and breaks, the circuit then becomes open and prevents the flow of current into the household circuit thus preventing the electrical appliances in the circuit from being damaged.

an electric circuit

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
