- Mr. Wizard explains fuses and how they relate to household electricity. Subscribe now for more science, nature and technology clips from the 1980's Nickelodeon show, Mr. Wizard's World, every week on #WizardWednesdays.
These shows were always both educational and fun
Difference between a fuse and circuit breaker-
Fuse-Needs replacing after it blows
Circuit breaker-Doesn't need replacing and is resettable
She was the smartest kid on the show. That's why she was on so many episodes. Mr. Wizard had zero tolerance for kids who weren't smart. He can be mean.
You need a healthy fear or getting hurt too respect science well done sir.
I often to be afraid of the fuse cause it looks like it makes an explosion.
But this is a great example to show how a fuse works.
A Fuse will not explode so you have no need to be afraid
When I watched this as a kid, I had a crush on that girl.
I bet she got really ugly when she grew up.
She’s an accomplished lawyer in Canada working with international partnerships. Looks to be regal in beauty and happy. Stacy Petriuk
Edward .Combs, how do you know?

Damn, first I though that was a boy! xD

sacey sounded so scared when he said *WELLLLLLL*
Dad reprimand in progress.
Kids smart enough to be co-host with a high-school science teacher.
thanks for the vid it really helped me a lot 👏🏽👍🏽
I loved this, until he grabbed her arm near the end and she was like um what and started doubting herself, that was not entirely necessary mister wizard lol
Same here. Should of figured by her name and earrings but during the late 80s and early 90s some boys had one earing- you usually only see one side of her face. My mind is blown. I always thought this kid would grow up to be gay. Something too feminine about him but its a girl. I always thought it was so strange he has this little gay kid for his lab assistant, like there was weird shit going on off camera. Later on in the show I thought they switched from the little gay boy to a girl. You know like seasons later. That's wild. It was the same person the whole time.
Very nice video!
That what missing now day educational shows
I thought Stacey was a boy
Jenny Marie, its cuz of her hair... But that doesnt mean to be rude... Just saying...
There were a few girls I knew back as a kid in the 80s who had shorter hair like that too. I guess it was a popular look for a while.
I thought she was a girl by the earring.

Fuse is precursor to circuit breaker. A small wire, encapsulated in glass, designed to burn through and break before an overload of electricity damages other components/starts a fire.
Fuse is de voorloper van een stroomonderbreker. Een
kleine draad, ingekapseld in glas, ontworpen om door te branden en te
breken voordat een overbelasting van elektriciteit andere componenten
beschadigt / een brand veroorzaakt.
@@zombie-process7025 Fuses still happen to be used in the Plugs of appliances
@@zombie-process7025 it is not in glass at all
You have to say "sort of" to be a scientist.
👌 👏
Ok but what does a fuse do? What purpose does it serve... just to go out? What are the consequences of overvoltage without a fuse?? Come on Mr Wizard we want to know more
A fuse is used to protect the wires inside the wall of your house from burning and in many occasions protect your appliance from damage. Such as in modern electric stoves which turns off when the stove is hot and turn on when it is cold. It is a reusable thermal fuse. Without a fuse all your house appliance and the wiring in your walls will burn in case of overvoltage causing fire and burning down your whole house.
Fuses, and breakers aren’t for over voltage, they’re for over current (amperage) situations. And while they may break, or trip if there’s a fault with a device connected to the circuit, they’re main purpose is to protect the house wiring, not the appliance, or device. A properly made appliance should have its own protections.
This must of been filmed in the 80s. But great educational video.
