With Robertson, he names an effect where radiation from a star causes small particles in orbit to spiral inward and be consumed, and in the 1890s, he made accurate calculations of the value of the universal gravitational constant. A onetime assistant to Maxwell, his most famous work was in electromagnetism, and led to his namesake flux and theorem. For ten points, name this British scientist probably now best known for his vector, the cross product between the electric field and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave.
