Effective Electric & Magnetic Fluids
In a vacuum, electromagnetism can be understood in terms of effective incompressible fluids:
Accelerations create vortices. Circulations equal acceleration fluxes divided by the speed of light.

| electric field | electric fluid velocity |
| magnetic field ⋅ speed of light | magnetic fluid velocity |
| charge | electric fluid mass rate |
| current density | electric fluid density ⋅ acceleration |
| electric constant | electric fluid density |
| magnetic constant ⋅ speed of light squared | reciprocal of magnetic fluid density |
Accelerations create vortices. Circulations equal acceleration fluxes divided by the speed of light.
