Two fuse wires of same length are rated 5 A and 20 A. Which of the two fuse wires is thicker and why?
Answer :
The wire of 20 A is thicker than that of 5 A. We know that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the wire. Thus, the wire having higher current through it should have lesser resistance.
