What can happen if you use a fuse with a higher capacity than the circuit requires?

Justification

The fuse should prevent fire or damage to electrical equipment when there is a short-circuit or overload of the electrical system.

A fuse with a higher capacity than what the circuit requires will take longer to break the circuit during a short circuit, and a fire may occur.
