The three main aspects of electricity are voltage, current, and resistance. If you think of water in a pipe, current is the water flow itself. Voltage is the amount of force that is pushing this water. Resistance is the restriction of that flow. What limits the amount of water, e.g., smaller pipes mean less water can flow (less current), and a longer pipe run means you need more force (more voltage) behind that water to get to the end. So when you send a current through a wire, it faces a certain amount of resistance from things like the length of the wire, the thickness of the wire, and the material of the wire, among other things. Because you're putting energy into it to move these electrons (current is the flow of electrons), they will lose some of this energy to resistance. And these losses are mostly manifested as heat: Lower current through a circuit with a certain amount of resistance leads to not much heat, BUT a lot of current through that same circuit means a lot of heat being produced as it tries to push the current against that resistance. Say you have a circuit with various appliances on it. You don't want them to be fried when a massive amount of current hits them. So you place a fuse right at the start of the circuit that has a certain amount of resistance (controlled by the thickness and material of the wire in the fuse) that will melt at a certain current level to stop all the appliances from taking the hit. — TikTok @5h1ttybuilds
