Tungsten is a metal whose melting point is very high. It is used in bulbs because tungsten will not catch fire in the bulb. But it is not used in fuse wires because fuse wires need a low melting point.

Tungsten is used in bulbs because of its high melting point; it is not used in fuse wire because it requires a low melting point metal.

A tungston has a very high melting point and thus it wont burn in a bulb but will not fulfil the purpose of a fuse wire to burn away in case of excess current. SO cant be used

A tungston has a very high melting point and thus it wont burn in a bulb but will not fulfill the purpose of a fuse wire to burn away in case of excess current. Fuse wire need to have low melting point ,when excess current flows,the wire melts and circuit is broken.

Tungsten has high melting point which is suitable for bulbs but due to this it cant be used in fuse wires as it needs low melting point.

Tungston metal won't burn inside the bulb and fuse can burn inside the metal in case of excess of current
