Exploding shoes. The rain-soaked shoes of a person may explode if ground current from nearby lightning vaporizes the water. The sudden conversion of water to water vapour causes a dramatic expansion that can rip apart shoes. Water has density 1000 kg m-3 and requires 2256 kJ kg-1 to be vaporized. If horizontal current lasts 2.00 ms and encounters water with resistivity150 Ω·m, length 12.0 cm, and vertical cross-sectional area 5.0×10-5 m2 , what average current is required to vaporize the water?
