youtube fuseschool.Does the fuse have a resistance value?
Fuses have resistance values, but in fact, even wires have resistance. However, the resistance of the wires is very small (the nature of the conductor), which is usually ignored in general circuit calculations. However, the resistance of a fuse is significantly higher than that of an equally long wire, so that it can protect the circuit. The fuse is marked with "5A 250V", indicating that the maximum current allowed for Shenzhen fuses is 5A, which is called the rated current; The maximum voltage allowed to pass through is 250V, which is called the rated voltage. If the current or voltage exceeds the rated value, the fuse will blow, causing the circuit to open, thus protecting the consumer (without a fuse, the consumer may be burned out). The principle of fuse blowing is Joule's law. Joule's law: The heat generated by an electric current passing through a conductor is proportional to the square of the current, to the resistance of the conductor, and to the time it is energized.
