Diameter of cylindrical wire must be employed to make a fuse


A fuse in the electric circuit is a wire which is designed to melt, and in that way open the circuit, when the current exceeds a pre-determined value. Assume that that the material to be employed in a fuse melts if the current density increases to 440 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical wire must be employed to make a fuse which will limit the current to 0.38 A?
