What will happen when the toaster is switched on, and why?
- The fuse will melt because the current is higher than 5.0 A.
- The fuse will be unchanged because 6.0 A is below its rating.
- The fuse will cool the circuit so the current decreases.
- Nothing happens because fuses only work in DC circuits.
