Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-2 > Welding
The voltage-length characteristic of a direct current arc in an arc welding process is V = (100 + 40l), where l is the length of the arc in mm and V is arc voltage in volts. During a welding operation, the arc length varies between 1 and 2 mm and the welding current is in the range 200-250 A. Assuming a linear power source, the short circuit current is ________ A.

Correct : 425
