Well, I guess that is pretty much my question.

What I meant was, how would one account for the change in charge density caused by length contraction when charges are moving in a current-carrying wire? Will it not result in a net electrostatic force on a stationary charge?

I've learned that moving charges produce magnetic fields which in turn affect other charges in motion. After seeing explanations that point to special relativity, I am kind of confused. Can **ALL** magnetic fields be accounted as some kind of electric field from a particular reference frame...
