Which of the following mainly decides the current to be employed is arc welding ?

Correct answer: A. Electrode size

  • A. Electrode size
  • B. Plate thickness
  • C. Voltage across the arc
  • D. Welded portion length

Explanation

In arc welding, electrode diameter mainly determines the suitable welding current because a larger electrode requires a higher current to melt properly. Plate thickness affects the selected electrode and passes, but it is not the primary direct control of current.
