Question:

How much heat is produced, in the conductor, when lightning passes through a conductor such as a franklin rod?

Lightning on the surface is extremely hot, so they say. Hotter then the sun.When lightning passes through a conductor, how much of this heat is transfered, and how much additional heat is produced because of friction?I assume since the lightning is only momentarily within the conductor only small amounts of the heat of the lightning is passed to the conductor, the main heat coming from the friction.Please give your opinion/answer in Celsius.For experiment purposes what would be the difference in heat between two different types of metals, one rod is Niobium, the other is Iron.

Answer:

we do notice photons! they are everything that we see the radio, tv and internet works on photons we sense them as heat we have built a lot of detectors for all kinds of wavelenghts. basically, photons are everything in nature that we see, and sense, except for those things we touch (and hear) if the planck's constant was greater, we would see in infrared, or perhaps radio, depending on how greater the constant is. and light would perhaps be able to give us cancer.
Yes, you can replace just the cam (you called it the lock tab). While it is possible to buy just the part, it may be cheaper and easier to buy a new cam lock just for the cam and set the rest aside. They usually come with one straight and one offset cam, so you may even be able to use the parts you don't need as a complete lock set.
