SSC CGL 20th August 2021 Shift-2

converting one form of energy into other

inducing current

overloading

carrying current

- Option 1: Converting one form of energy into another is not the purpose of a fuse. Devices like transformers perform energy conversion.

- Option 2: Inducing current is achieved by devices like inductors and transformers, not fuses.

- Option 3: A fuse protects against overloading by breaking the circuit if excessive current flows, preventing damage or fire hazards.

- Option 4: Carrying current is a function of wires and circuits, not a fuse's primary role. Fuses act as safety devices to interrupt current.
