I have read about how magnetic forces are a consequence of special relativity when you have something moving in a magnetic field, like how moving a wire in a magnetic field causes a current and it can be summarized by using magnetic flux and so on (magnetic flux has area in it, which takes into account length of the wire and the speed of it as if the area is changing etc). Then it is also said that any component of the magnetic flux can change, even the magnetic field, and the effect is still the same.
But they seem different. Is there an explanation as to why a changing magnetic field causes the same effect as moving the wire, using relativity or other theories?
