Does Faraday's Law Hold True in All Inertial Frames?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction maintains its form across all inertial frames, supporting the foundational principles of Special Relativity. This invariance is rooted in the consistency of electromagnetic phenomena observed in different inertial frames. Furthermore, Faraday's Law serves as a precursor to Maxwell's equations, which are predicated on the constancy of the speed of light. Empirical observations validate this principle, confirming its universal applicability.

Prove that Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction has the same form in all inertial frames.

Wasn't it the observed fact that electromagnetic phenomena hold the same in all inertial frames that resulted in the theory of Special Relativity?
Faraday's law is just a progenitor of Maxwell's equations, which in turn require the velocity of light to be a constant.
Observation confirms that it IS.
