I'm a complete beginner so please excuse the ignorance of my post.
I'm working my way through the Make: Electronics book and one of the first exercises involves fitting a 1.5V AA battery to a battery holder and attaching the leads to a 3A blade fuse.
Although the book says that the element should break "almost immediately", it doesn't seem to break even after I've held the leads there a number of seconds. Am I doing something wrong?
One side of the fuse says "iMAXX 3" and the other says "32 V", if that's any help.
