flux

[fluks]

1. an excessive flow or discharge.

2. the rate of the flow of some quantity (or magnetic field) per unit area.

magnetic flux (Φ) a quantitative measure of a magnetic field.

flux

(flŭks),

1. The discharge of a fluid material in large amounts from a cavity or surface of the body.
See also: diarrhea.

2. Material discharged from the bowels.

3. A material used to remove oxides from the surface of molten metal and to protect it when casting; serves a similar purpose in soldering operations.

4. An ingredient in dental porcelain that by its lower melting temperature helps to bond the silica particles.

5. The moles of a substance crossing through a unit area of a boundary layer or membrane per unit of time. Synonym(s): flux density (1)

6. Bidirectional movement of a substance at a membrane or surface.

7. In diagnostic radiology, photon fluence per unit time.

8. The strength of a field of force (for example, magnetic) orthogonal to a unit area.

9. The rate of chemical or physical transformation or translocation of a substance per unit time.

Differential Forms and Electromagnetic Field Theory

Resorting to the meaning of (28), (36) can be interpreted as follows: the current flowing in the conductors produces a contribution to the variation of electric flux (relative to the surface "S" of Fig.

Now if we interpret the Magnetic Circuit Law as the origin of "H" because of the electric flux change, an interesting phenomenological analogy, which we are going to show, emerges.

This interpretation does not seem to contradict what I said earlier: I can see the electric current (charges in motion) such as the measure of the rate of change of electric flux generate by fixed charges.

According to some considerations the derivative electric flux "d[PSI]/dt" has been recognized as the main cause in generation of "magnetic tension".

With the interpretation presented in this study, rather than assimilating the displacement current to the conduction current, the conduction current phenomenon is also seen as an electric flux variation.

For the present models this should be formulated as follows: a vector pair (VP) generates the EV issuing from the origin of a coordinate system, which EV is now identified with an electric flux [not member of].
