why flux surrounds a conductor when current is flown across it.

OpenStudy (kenljw):

It comes down to "why do electrons radiate under acceleration". A constant current in a wire creates a constant magnetic field concentric with the wire. A varying current will produce a varying magnetic field which will have a conductive effect on any nearby conductor. I know this doesn't explain it, it just tells you how to use it. Like religion, ha, ha

impressive. why and how current(charge) getting converting into flux. I am confused with this conversion principle. Like I see how a plant converting into tree. But I am unable to imagine how charge converting into flux(force of lines).

Will you have to consider the theory of relativity, mass/space is not a distinct point but curved. Charge also is not really distinct and when current flows it really doesn't change but moves through space. It's not like a seed that grows into something, it always is something
