AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how the features of an electron, such as mass, electric charge, and magnetic moment, are represented without being considered as sub-particles. It emphasizes the distinction between an object and its properties, asserting that properties like charge and mass are intrinsic to the electron rather than separate entities. The analogy of hair color as a property of a person illustrates this point, clarifying that properties do not exist independently from the particle. The conversation underscores the importance of understanding that an elementary particle's characteristics are integral to its identity. Overall, the representation of an electron's features is about recognizing them as fundamental attributes rather than separate components.

How the features of electron (or other elementary particle) like
mass , electric charge ,magnetic moment and more represented in it ?
Is each of the features should not be represented as a sub-particle
in the electron ?

A particle, elementary or otherwise, has properties. You must be clear about the distinction between an object and its properties. Each property is not a separate, or "sub", particle. For example, the color of your hair is a property of the object called "you." The color of your hair is not a separate object.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
