Consider a magnetic field with a charge at rest in inertial frame S. From this reference point the particle is not moving wrt the magnetic field and will not experience a Lorentz force. Now consider a frame S' moving wrt S at a constant speed. An observer in this frame would see the charge moving and hence it would be experiencing a force given by the Lorentz force equation. If you attached an accelerometer to the particle would it indicate that the charge had accelerated on not?
