    1. Tin and Lead
    2. Tin and Copper
    3. Lead and Copper
    4. Copper and Silver
Correct Option: A

The common material used as fuse wire is an alloy of tin and lead (63% tin and 37% lead). Fuse wires provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit including the source of power and the load. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby interrupting the flow of current.
