Fuse wire should be placed in the path of wire

1. Neutral
2. Phase
3. Earth
4. None of these

Correct answer: Phase

Solution

The fuse is placed in the phase (live) wire so that if excess current flows, it breaks the supply to the appliance. If it were in the neutral wire, the appliance could still remain connected to the live line and be dangerous.
