Question 9

An electrical appliance is connected to a mains supply. The plug of the appliance contains a 13 A fuse to protect the circuit from excessive current.

In which wire of the plug is the fuse positioned, and what is its action when it operates?

Live wire; disconnects the circuit

Live wire; reduces the current to $A13\text{ A}$

Neutral wire; disconnects the circuit

Neutral wire; reduces the current to $A13\text{ A}$
