A charge q is placed at a distance d from an innite charged wire carrying lamdba charge per
unit length.
(a)What is the force acting on the charge q? (b)Find the force on charge q with respect
to an observer moving moving at speed u along the wire.

E and B fields transform according to the Lorentz Transformation:

\mathbf{E}'=\gamma (\mathbf{E}+\mathbf{v}\times \mathbf{B})+(1-\gamma)\frac{\mathbf{E}\cdot \mathbf{v}}{v^2}\mathbf{v}

\mathbf{B}'=\gamma (\mathbf{B}-\frac{1}{c^2}\mathbf{v}\times \mathbf{E})+(1-\gamma)\frac{\mathbf{B}\cdot \mathbf{v}}{v^2}\mathbf{v}
 
In a,there is no relativistic force!

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
