A short circuit in a\(120{\rm{ }}V\) appliance cord has a \(0.500{\rm{ }}\Omega \) resistance. Calculate the temperature rise of the \(2.00{\rm{ }}g\) of surrounding materials, assuming their specific heat capacity is and that it takes \(0.0500{\rm{ }}s\) for a circuit breaker to interrupt the current. Is this likely to be damaging?
