Chapter 26, Problem 48P
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 vapor causes a dramatic expansion that can rip apart shoes. Water has density 1000 kg/m3 and requires 2256 kJ/kg to be vaporized. If horizontal current lasts 2.00 ms and encounters water with resistivity 150 Ω m, length 12.0 cm. and vertical cross-sectional area 15 × 10−5 m2 what average current is required to vaporize the water?

In recent years, investigators have explored alterations in brain activity due to the passage of a small current through the brain via electrodes placed on the scalp, with intriguing results related to memory and cognition. In one study, electrodes on the scalp created a 1.0 V/mV/m electric field in the brain tissue and caused a 1.0 mAmA current to pass through a 2.5×10−3m22.5×10−3m2 cross-section area of the brain.
What resistivity does this imply for the brain tissue ?
i got the answer 2.5 ohms/m
but i wanna double check if it is correct
thank you in advanced
