    Open-circuit voltage of 60V and current of 160 A were the welding conditions for arc welding of a certain class of steel strip of thickness 10 mm. For arc welding of 5 mm thick strip of the same steel, the welding voltage and current would be:

    A) 60 V and 80 A  

    B) 120 V and 160 A

    C) 60V and 40 A   

    D) 120V and 40 A

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[V={{V}_{0}}\left( 1-\frac{I}{{{I}_{s}}} \right)\] \[V=60\,\,V,\]\[{{I}_{3}}=160\,A\] \[V=60\left( 1-\frac{I}{600} \right)\] \[I\propto t\,\,and\,\,{{V}_{0}}\propto \frac{1}{t}\] For 5 mm, \[l=\frac{5}{10}\times 160=80\,A\] And \[{{V}_{0}}=120\,V\] \[{{V}_{0}}=120\left( 1-\frac{80}{160} \right)=60\,V\]
