Which component in an electrical circuit is specifically designed to melt and break the circuit in the event of an overload?
A. Switch
B. Capacitor
C. Fuse
D. Resistor

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A fuse is an electrical safety device consisting of a wire made of an alloy with a low melting point. If the current exceeds a safe limit (due to a short circuit or overload), the Joules heating (I²Rt) causes the wire to melt instantly, breaking the circuit and preventing fire or damage to appliances.
