can someone put flux in lamens terms for me, also is it true electricity goes threw a resistor in a light bulb generating heat and the heat and produces light and if so will i learn how it does so in physics light and sound class? Email me the answer <snip> please.

cmon why no one describing flux for me

 

This is not a chat room, you need to have some patience.

In the study of transport phenomena, flux is just a way to measure a flow. In order to talk about flux there needs to be something that "flows" and there needs to be an area. Flux is the amount of something that flows through a unit area in a unit time. That's about as "layman" as I can get.

In field theory and mathematics, flux is the integral of a vector quantity over a finite surface. That is a bit beyond the "laymans" ability to comprehend, so we'll leave that one for another time.

Electrical current will flow in a conductor. It will generate heat. If enough heat is generated it will give off light.
