The hidden link between electricity and magnetism
Have you ever wondered why the electric and magnetic fields are so closely connected? The unbelievable answer lies in special relativity. What looks like a magnetic field in a stationary frame of reference transforms into an electrostatic field in a moving frame of reference. I show you how to derive the strength of the magnetic field using only the equations of special relativity and electrostatics.
