Best Answer

The distance between the electrode and work and the type of atmosphere surrounding the arc. Voltage pushes the current across the gap and the longer the arc length the higher the voltage has to be. In the TIG (GTAW) process Helium is lighter than Argon which allows less resistance to the arc allowing it to jump greater distances. Both have limitations as to how far the arc will travel across a gap.

What condition can an electron in a given orbit jump to another from the nucleus?

Electrons don't jump from the nucleus, because there are no electrons in the nucleus. They DO jump, or can jump from one orbit to another. If it jumps to a higher orbit, then energy must be added, and if it jumps, or falls to a lower orbit, energy is released.


How do you do a backwards jump in super Mario 64 ds?

To do a backflip jump, simply jump while crouching. With the standard controls this is R+B. To do a side somersault, jump while stopping running in order to quickly change direction. This one is tricky to do. After taking off, you can skew your trajectory in midair with the directional controls.

How the charges on the body may be determined by using an electroscope?

when a substance is electrically charged it has either too few or too many electrons. when the electroscope is brought near a charged object the electrons 'jump' if the substance had too many electrons then the extras would 'jump' to the electroscope giving it a negative charge if the substance had too few electrons then the electrons from the electroscpe would 'jump' to the substance, giving the electroscope a positive charge
