Static electricity represents charges without movement, while electric current represents charges in motion (electric flow).

The fuse is a component of electrical installations that is interrupted or melts when the current is excessive. Fuses are composed of a sheet or filament made of an alloy or metal that is characterized by a low melting point. This element is located at a strategic point in the electrical installation so that it melts if the intensity of the current exceeds a certain value. Thus, the fuse interrupts the current and safeguards the integrity of the conductors, minimizing the risk of fire or breakdown.
