Good catch by @A.T. and @kuruman! Looking closely at that timestamp (3:27:44), this isn't a case of static equilibrium, but rather a classic demonstration of gyroscopic stabilization / rotational dynamics. When analyzing the event through that lens: 1. Gyroscopic Stability & Energy...

What the Veritasium video is trying to show (in a simplified conceptual way for beginners) is that the magnetic force can be understood as a relativistic consequence of electrostatic forces under Lorentz transformations. In the rest frame of a test charge next to a neutral current-carrying...
