Fluxon

Imagine you have a toy train that moves along a track. When the train moves slowly, you can see each car passing by, but when it moves quickly it blurs together and becomes a solid streak. In a similar way, electrons in wires can also move quickly or slowly. When they move slowly, we can see them moving along the wire, but when they move quickly they blur together and create an electrical current.

Now, when a current is flowing through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. Think of the magnetic field like a force that can push or pull things nearby. This magnetic field is made up of tiny particles called fluxons.

A fluxon is like a little bundle of energy that travels through the wire along with the electrical current. As the fluxon moves, it creates a little magnetic field around itself. This field can interact with other magnetic fields, like those from nearby wires or magnets, and cause things to move or change.

So, in short, a fluxon is a tiny bundle of energy that travels through a wire alongside an electrical current and creates a magnetic field around itself.
