Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a cord on a bomb that is lit to ignite;
For two cells to combine, or two atoms unite;
In a circuit, I melt when the current’s not right;
And I’m short on a person who’s ready to fight!

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Neel Mehta. See comments for answer.

    FUSE is correct. Way to go, Neel Mehta!

    And a nice throwback to the days when people would come and continue the rhyme.
