In daily life, what are some objects that contain fuses?

Many critical electric devices contain fuses, but many these days are replaced with circuit breakers.

A fuse is a conductor that will "burn through" if excessive current passes through it, thus breaking the circuit and causing electricity to stop flowing. Hence, a burned out fuse must be replaced. A circuit breaker, on the other hand, can be reset and need not be replaced.

Most cars also contain fuses to protect the electrical circuits in them.

Hope this helps :)

Cars, houses, TV, Radio, Ipod, stores, and even people. Haven't you ever heard when someone says, "You better watch it with him, he gots a short fuse!!"

Now if you do some reading you can find some fuses in a library. If you do not know how to look up a book, then it con"fuses" you how to do it. Or if you read the sayings of the wise Chineses Sage, Com "fuses" you may learn a lot.

So you see there is fuses all around you. You just have to know where to look if my explanation is not con"fuses"ing enough. lol

Almost anything electronic....

Car, Phone Charger, Office Equipment, Appliances.

Fuses are cheap and designed to blow if there is an electrical problem thus saving the actual device at the cost of a fuse.

In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse (from the French fusée, Italian fuso, "spindle" is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide overcurrent protection, of either the load or source circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, interrupting the circuit that it connects. Short circuits, overloading, mismatched loads, or device failure are the prime reasons for excessive current. Fuses are an alternative to circuit breakers.

A fuse interrupts excessive current ("blows") so that further damage by overheating or fire is prevented. Wiring regulations often define a maximum fuse current rating for particular circuits. Overcurrent protection devices are essential in electrical systems to limit threats to human life and property damage. The time and current operating characteristics of fuses are chosen to provide adequate protection without needless interruption. Slow blow fuses are designed to allow harmless short term currents over their rating while still interrupting a sustained overload. Fuses are manufactured in a wide range of current and voltage ratings to protect wiring systems and electrical equipment.

Almost every thing that uses electricity. Even a lot of equipment like computers etc. Your house all the circuits are fused.

Virtually all electrical goods contain some kind of fusing. As do te electrical circuits on automobiles.

EVERY THING ELECTRONICLE like telephone car's computers any thing that has electronic just remember a fuse is a thing that make sure that the object doesnt take to much electricity. ;)
