What is a disposable fuse?

what is the difference between a circuit breaker and a disposable fuse

Answer:
A disposable fuse is, well, disposed of after it blows. It consists of a wire element which is rated for a certain current. If current through the circuit exceeds that rating, the wire heats up and eventually burns away. This opens the circuit and protects whatever was connected.

A circuit breaker does the same thing, except it has a switch. When it is tripped, you just reset the switch.

Fuses are typically cheaper than circuit breakers.
doesnt it answer the question like a dispsable liter u throw it away after it is done or blowna circuit breaker might trip off but u can turn it back on like a lite switch
a circuit breaker is fixed and can be turned off or on as well as providing circuit protection and rarely goes faulty a cartridge fuse cannot be reset once blown it is discarded and replaced
