Q.57. A direct current welding machine with a linear power source characteristic provides open circuit voltage of 80 V and short circuit current of 800 A. During welding with the machine, the measured arc current is 500 A corresponding to an arc length of 5.0 mm and the measured arc current is 460 A corresponding to an arc length of 7.0 mm. The linear voltage (E) – arc length (L) characteristic of the welding arc can be given as (where E is in Volt and L is in mm)
Answer: (A)
