Fluxion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In theoretical physics, fluxions are the constituent particles of electric and magnetic flux. Fluxions are particles similar to mesons in their manifestation. They form flux and flow in the direction of flux.

[edit] Behaviour

Fluxions exist in two states; electric fluxions and magnetic fluxions. The electric fluxions have a positive spin of +½ and the magnetic fluxions have a negative spin of -½. The fluxions exert force on their surroundings depending on their spin. The force exerted by fluxions is determined by Coulomb's law and Biot-Savart Law. The density of fluxions in particular region in space is directly proportional to the electric or magnetic flux density in that region.

[edit] Other Usage

Fluxion was Isaac Newton's term for the derivative of a "fluent", or continuous function.
