Lightning strikes can involve currents as high as 2.50×10⁴ A that last for about 40.0 μs . If a person is struck by a bolt of lightning with these properties, the current will pass through his body. We shall assume that his mass is 79.0 kg , that he is wet (after all, he is in a rainstorm) and therefore has a resistance of 1.50 kΩ , and that his body is all water (which is reasonable for a rough, but plausible, approximation).

By how many degrees Celsius would this lightning bolt increase the temperature of 79.0 kg of water? answer in K
