Solution :
The correct size of the arc of a welding process depends upon the application and the electrode. As a rule, the arc length should not be more than a diameter of the core of the electrode.
As for the electrode of diameter size of 5/32" or 4 mm, the arc length should be more than its core diameter. Also for 5/32 " diameter electrode, the welding time for the one electrode must be one minute as well as the length of the weld be the same as the length of the electrode consumed.
