==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[File:FuseSymbol.png|right|300px|thumb|The symbol for a '''fuse'''.]]
A '''fuse''' is an [[Electrical Component|electrical component]] which prevents very large [[Electrical Current|currents]] in a [[circuit]].

===About Fuses===
: '''Fuses''' are a thin piece of [[wire]] which is designed to [[melt]] when the [[Electrical Current|current]] through the [[wire]] is too large.
: '''Fuses''' are found inside [[Electrical Plug|plugs]] and are used to reduce the risk caused by a power surge.
: The '''fuse''' in a [[Electrical Plug|plug]] is connected to the [[Live Wire|live wire]].

+: The [[Live Wire|live wire]] is connected to a [[Electrical Fuse|fuse]] in the [[Electrical Plug|plug]] so that if too much [[Electrical Current|current]] goes through it into an [[Electrical Appliance|appliance]] the [[Electrical Fuse|fuse]] will break and stop the [[Electrical Current|current]].
