Moving charges in a moving frame of reference

[Dale]

Let F be the magnitude of the four force, then:

Tester on Earth would say that breaking string in spacecraft would take smaller force than to break the string on Earth.

Tester on Earth would saybthst breaking string in spacecraft would take the same F as to break the string on earth.

Tester on Earth would say pullingmachine in spacecraft applied smaller force than the machine on Earth.

Tester on Earth would say pulling machine in spacecraft applied the same F as the machine in earth.

Tester in spacecraft would say that breaking string on Earth would take smaller force than to break the string in spacecraft .

Tester in spacecraft would say that breaking string on Earth would take the same F as breaking the string in spacecraft .

Tester in spacecraft would say pullingmachine on Earth applied smaller force than the machine in spacecraft .

Tester in spacecraft would say pulling machine on Earth applied same F as the machine in spacecraft .

Tester on Earth would say that breaking string in spacecraft would take 1-v^2/c^2 times smaller force than to break the string on earth.

Tester on Earth would say that breaking string in spacecraft would take same F as to break string on earth.

Tester on Earth would say pullingmachine in spacecraft applied 1-v^2/c^2 times smaller force than the machine on earth.

Tester on Earth would say pulling machine in spacecraft applied same force as the machine on earth.

testers would not need to convert forces if they view strings and the machines as collection of pointcharges that are tied to each other with chemical bond, and are interacting with force F=q∗(E+v∗B), because E,v and B are different in their frames of reference

testers would not need to convert forces if they use four-forces

Thanks very much for explaining this to me. I had previously tried to find answer to this question from various sources outside of PhysicsForums and the asked question from many people, but never got clear answer.

Some source said that I should use relation
$E_2=E_1+v \times B_1$
$B_2=B_1-v/c^2\times E_1$
but that would mean that $E_2\not=\frac{q*k_q}{r^2}$ Is it correct? Does that mean that there is free electromagnetic field(electromagnetic wave(s)) in second frame of reference?

I don’t know of the top of my head. I would have to look them up.

I found it now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class...al_relativity#Non-relativistic_approximations. Seems that the problem can be solved with nonrelativistic physics.
But still does it mean that $E_2\not=\frac{q*k_q}{r^2}$ in some cases. for example if the bodies are moving with speed v in 1. frame of reference and with speed -v in 2. frame of reference?

Most likely yes. Approximations are often wrong. That is why they are approximations.

However, I must say that I don’t understand your persistent desire to do things the hard way with inaccurate approximations that are complicated and frame variant, when you could instead use the exact quantity in the four-vector formulation which is easy and covariant. Why do you insist on doing it the hard way?

Is v << c ?

Anyway, there is a (slowly) moving magnet in one frame.

If the magnetic field of the magnet is B and the velocity of the magnet is v, then

there is an Electric field E around the moving magnet: $E=v \times B$

So a still standing charge q feels a force: $F=q*v\times B$

What is this called? Induction? The v refers to the velocity of a magnet.In another frame there is a charge moving in a magnetic field of a still standing magnet. There is a force on the charge: $F=q*v \times B$

That force is called Lorentz force, and it's a magnetic force, right? The v refers to the velocity of a charge.
The two frames agree about q and B and the magnitude of v. So the two frames seem to disagree about the direction of the force.

Okay, so it must be so that the v refers to the velocity of an observer relative to a magnet, not "the velocity of a magnet", as I said.

I desire to understand whether maxwells equations are compatible with classic physics.
These equations where on wikipedia do not seem just approximations, but are straightly unsound, because:
$div(\vec{E_1})=q/\epsilon_0$
$\vec{E_2}=\vec{E_1}+v\times B$
$div(\vec{E_2})=q/\epsilon_0$
$\vec{B_1}=\frac{\mu_0*q*v\times r}{4*\pi*|r|^3}$
to
$div(\vec{E_1}+v\times \frac{\mu_0*q*v \times r}{4*\pi*|r|^3})=div(\vec{E_1})$
if r is crosswise to v
$div(\vec{E_1}*(1+\frac{\mu_0*q*|v|^2}{4*\pi*|r|^2*|E_1|}))=div(\vec{E_1})$
to
$\mu_0*q*|v|^2=-4*\pi*|r|^2*|E_1|$
to
$\mu_0*q*|v|^2=-4*\pi*|r|^2*\frac{q}{4*\pi*\epsilon_0}$
to
$|v|^2=-|r|^2*c^2$ which is not True for all v and all r.

Maxwell’s equations are fully relativistic. They are not compatible with the Galilean transform.
