Inside the plug there is a fuse connected to the

live pin. This fuse melts and beaks the circuit if
excess current passes through it

A two-pin plug has only two wires;

The Live wire and the neutral wire.
This type of plug is usually used with appliances
having a plastic casing or in circuits
where only a small amount of current comes in.
