What are fuses used for?

Did somebody forget to set out the roach motels last over the holiday? 🏨

"Yet capacitors are also directional due to the wire running through them."

What is the definition of "wire" for this purpose? Surely not what first comes to one's mind.

Glubson, just curious, did you forget to take your smart pills this morning?

Could a fuse make a difference? I doubt it, but there's good ways to tell.

Put an oscilloscope on both ends of a fuse, ideally something with a frequency analyzier. Look at the scope.

When anyone provides visible proof of a fuse in anyway showing a voltage differential in real time between the input and output I'll be interested.

Now, that's not to say you could not do something cool, like have a fuse with a built in ferrite bead or something, which would reduce EMI / RFI. Would it be audible? See above. :)

Best,
