Thank you very much 🙏 Isn't this 'pancakification' effect of the electric field should also take place in the 'classical' case where the particle moves parallel to the wire, (as In addition to the length contraction effect). Isn't these two mechanism compete each other?

Amazing explanation. Thank you very much!

Yes, but can we reach it only by using length contraction in similar way to how Einstein derived it for a charge moving along the wire?

Given a test charge moving along a current carrying wire, I'm familiar with the relativity explanation of the magnetic field at the rest frame of the wire and the electric field In the moving particle frame (where the wire is electrically charged). My question is how relativity kicks in in the...
