FUSE WIRE

Fuse wire is a safety device to limit the current in an electric circuit. It gets melted when excess current flows in a circuit. It works with the principle of heating effect of electric current. It is made with an alloy of lead and tin (solder wire).
Its material has two important properties
1. It has low melting point (around 250 degree celcius).
2.  It has high resistivity.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

In uniform circular motion,  1. Speed is constant. 2. Velocity is variable and acts along tangential direction  at a point. 3. Centripetal Force and acceleration act along the radius towards the centre if the circular path.  4. Centrifugal force appears to  act radially outwards. It is a virtual  ,fictitious force, not a real force.

ECHO IN LIVING ROOM

Why is echo not heard in our living rooms? To hear echo, the minimum distance between the source and the reflector must be 17m. When this distance is more than 17m, the reflected sound can be distinguished from the original. As the length of our rooms is less than 17m, we don't hear echo.
