What is the role of fuse, used in series with any electrical appliance? Why should a fuse with defined rating not be replaced by one with a larger rating?

Answer:
Fuse wire is a short length thin wire generally made of tin and lead in the ratio of 3:1.
If the supply become high-voltage which exceeds the current then after reaching at a specified value of current, the fuse wire melts and breaks.
As the fuse wire melts, the circuit of the whole household breaks and thus
household appliances get protected from damage.
Fuse wire comes with a current rating and they melt for any current more than that.
If we use high current rating fuse, it will allow large current and home appliances can get damaged by them.
