I'd like to understand electromagnetics a bit better. What is the definition of electromagnetic flux? I'm attempting to make a better equation for flux density.
Is flux static, like a measure of the magnetic field intensity, as the lines of force that you can see using iron filings over a bar magnet?
Or is it defined as dynamic only, applying to AC fields only? The equation for B (AC flux density) in Gauss in my Dad's old engineering books applies to AC voltages. These books are really terse.
The ambiguity is in the word "flux" itself. When something is in a state of flux it is changing.
