    The document describes three electrical components: a screwdriver, home heating devices, and fuses. 1) The screwdriver has a plastic handle and steel blade, with the blade able to conduct electricity easily. Touching the screwdriver to an electrical socket would be dangerous as the blade could conduct electricity to the user. 2) Common home heating devices that use electricity include electric heaters. 3) Fuses have a thin metal wire inside a glass tube with metal caps. Electricity flows through the metal wire. When too much current passes through, the wire heats up and melts, breaking the circuit to prevent damage. Fuses are used to protect electrical devices from current surges
