At times we wonder a fused bulb does not glow why? This is a very interesting question. I will break it down in simple words so that you can understand the process behind why does a fused bulb not glow.

'To fuse' means to melt. It represents that the filament of the bulb has melted and it has broken therefore there is no ongoing circuit. Since there is no current flowing this is the reason why a fused bulb does not glow.

An electric bulb has in it a coiled tungsten filament. The current goes through the filament and it glows with white colour as it turns hot. The fused bulb signifies an electric bulb that has melted. Since the filament melts the circuit opens, and so the current stops flowing through the filament. The filament stops heating up and does not glow anymore.

Just like the heat of infusion of water which denotes the amount of heat needed to melt 1gm of ice at 0 degrees Celcius to 1 gm of water at 0 Degree Celsius, to fuse denotes to melt. Due to the tremendous flow of current, the filament of the bulb has melted.

It's better to throw the fused bulb and install a bulb since the old bulb stops working.
