Answer
Overloading can be avoided if too many appliances are not connected to a single socket. Short circuiting is a name given to a situation in which the live and the neutral wires accidently come in contact. Electric fuse is a safety device. When a short circuit takes place or when overloading takes place, then the current becomes large and heats the fuse wire too much and thus, it gets melted and circuit breaks which prevents the damage of the wiring and electrical appliances.
