say you have a very very long (or infinite) straight wire the carried a charge (glued to the wire) and the wire moves forward with speed v with respect to reference frame S, this creates a current, which according to the Biot Savart law creates a magnetic field. But in reference frame S' relatively stationary to the wire since the charges are not moving there is no current and hence there is no magnetic field. suppose a statinary charge is placed at the origin of S', in S' the charge experiences no magnetic force but in S it does?
i havent really done special relativity yet so can someone resolve this in terms of classical mechanics (assuming v <<c)?
