A fuse is:(tick all that apply)
A
a resistor
B
a safety device
C
a part of a plug
D
always of a given current rating, e.g. 13Amps
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A fuse is a service that delivers usable electrical circuit over-current safety. Some of the main fuse functions are as follows: Acts as a barrier between both the human body and the electric circuit. Inhibits system failure due to defective operation of circuits. Fuse avoids short-circuits.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fuse will be located on the right side of the plug. Lift it with your screwdriver to dislodge it. Replace the fuse with a fuse of the same amperage (check the appliance’s instructions if unsure) Reassemble the plug, plug it into the wall and switch the device back on.

Detailed explanation-3: -In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current.
