Examples of Using FLUX in a Sentence

• The gauss (symbol: , sometimes Gs) is a unit of measurement of magnetic induction, also known as magnetic flux density.
• His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including twelve books, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval.
• The Russian monarchy ended with the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II during the February Revolution, and Russia was in a state of political flux.
• They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic flux that inhibit convection.
• A varying current in any coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, which induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) across any other coils wound around the same core.
• In physics, attenuation (in some contexts, extinction) is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium.
• The density of flux lines is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source because the surface area of a sphere increases with the square of the radius.
• The use of radiometers to determine the temperature of objects and gasses by measuring radiation flux is called pyrometry.
• In physics and many other areas of science and engineering the intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy.
• In vector calculus flux is a scalar quantity, defined as the surface integral of the perpendicular component of a vector field over a surface.
• It is an industrial mineral, suitable "as ceramic flux to lower the sintering temperature", and a commercial product useful for its low density after processing.
• In physics, the Poynting vector (or Umov–Poynting vector) represents the directional energy flux (the energy transfer per unit area, per unit time) or power flow of an electromagnetic field.

• In the context of electric flux, the SI and CGS units for an electric displacement field (D) are related by:.
• It is commonly available in powder or granular form and has many industrial and household uses, including as a pesticide, as a metal soldering flux, as a component of glass, enamel, and pottery glazes, for tanning of skins and hides, for artificial aging of wood, as a preservative against wood fungus, and as a pharmaceutic alkalizer.
• The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb; in derived units, volt–seconds), and the CGS unit is the maxwell.
• The stress–energy tensor, sometimes called the stress–energy–momentum tensor or the energy–momentum tensor, is a tensor physical quantity that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in spacetime, generalizing the stress tensor of Newtonian physics.
• The Biot–Savart law is used for computing the resultant magnetic flux density B at position r in 3D-space generated by a filamentary current I (for example due to a wire).
