Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fuse should be placed in series with the component in order to limit the current flowing through it. Placing it internally inside the component or in parallel with the component would not effectively protect it from large currents. Placing it in contact with the ground and the component may not provide effective protection depending on the circuit design.
