The voltage-length characteristic of a direct 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.

- 424.6
- 265.6
- None of these
Correct Option: B
Given, V = 100 + 40 l
l1 = 1mm ⇒ V1 = 140V
l1 = 250A
I2 = 2mm ⇒ V2 = 180V
I2 = 200A
