  7. Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in electric heater because it is very stable, even at high temperatures. Unlike other metals, it will not melt even when generating large amounts of heat.
  8. Fuse is a safety device made up of alloy having low melting point. It is connected in series in the circuit. It protects the circuit and electrical appliances in case of excess of current in the circuit.
  9. A cell is a device that creates potential difference in the circuit to flow the current in the circuit. Combination of two or more cells in series is called a battery.
    1. Electric circuit
    2. Battery or cell
    3. Short circuit
    4. Fuse
    5. Electromagnet.
