Buds · Answer 1

d. to anticipate heat changes

Explanation:

Magnus installs the switch with a bimetal element, so that when the current in the circuit increases above the nominal value, the temperature in the conductor will likewise increase, the bimetal element has the ability to deform when significant temperature changes. In this way it anticipates dangerous current values deforming before and protecting the circuit.
