  1. During a TIG welding process, the arc current and arc voltage were 50 A and 60 V, respectively, when the welding speed was 150 mm/min. In another process, the TIG welding is carried out at a welding speed of 120 mm/min at the same arc voltage and heat input to the material so that weld quality remains the same. The welding current (in A) for this process is ___________
    1. 40.00
    2. 44.72
    3. 55.90
    4. 62.25
Correct Option: A

Total heat input = VIt
Time t is inversely proportional to weld speed (S)

∴ 
V2I2
=
V1I1
S2S1

∴  I2 =
120
× 50
150

I2 = 40A
