Not sure how to go about proving that if E and B are perpendicular in one Lorentz frame they are perpendicular in all Lorentz frames.
An electric field is a region of space that exerts a force on electrically charged objects. It is created by electric charges and can be either positive or negative. The strength of an electric field is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m).
A magnetic field is a region of space that exerts a force on magnetically charged objects. It is created by moving electric charges and can be either north or south. The strength of a magnetic field is measured in units of tesla (T).
Electric and magnetic fields are closely related and interact with each other. When an electric field changes, it creates a magnetic field, and vice versa. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction and is the basis for many modern technologies.
A Lorentz frame, also known as a reference frame, is a coordinate system used to describe the position and motion of objects in space and time. It is based on the principles of relativity and is used in physics to study the effects of special relativity on objects moving at high speeds.
In different reference frames, electric and magnetic fields can appear to be different due to the effects of relativity. Specifically, the strength and direction of the fields can change depending on the relative motion between the observer and the charged object. However, the laws of electrodynamics hold true in all inertial reference frames.
