Prove that Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction has the same form in all inertial frames.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.
