Effect of spatial inversion on some variables of classical physics

Even

Classical variables, predominantly scalar quantities, which do not change upon spatial
inversion include:

, the time when an event occurs

, the mass of a particle (Identity)

, the energy of the particle (Conflicting)

, power (rate of work done) (Kindred)

, the electric charge density (Super-Ego)

, the electric potential (voltage) (Quasi-identity)

, energy density of the electromagnetic field

, the angular momentum of a particle (both orbital and spin) (axial vector)
(Partial Duality)

, the magnetic field (axial vector)

, the auxiliary magnetic field

, the magnetization

Maxwell stress tensor.

All masses, charges, coupling constants, and other physical constants, except
those associated with the weak force
Odd

Classical variables, predominantly vector quantities, which have their sign flipped by
spatial inversion include:

, the helicity (Mirage)

, the magnetic flux

, the position of a particle in three-space

, the velocity of a particle

, the acceleration of the particle (Activation)

, the linear momentum of a particle

, the force exerted on a particle

, the electric current density

, the electric field

, the electric displacement field

, the electric polarization (Extinction)

, the electromagnetic vector potential
