How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work

Here some modern explanation of the phenomena: (I love the way they explain it) "How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work" [VIDEO] .

That's right. Here is a pretty good video explaining magnetism as a relativistic effect of electrostatics - [VIDEO]

Here's a video explainer: [VIDEO] Magnetism affects moving charges, but not stationary charges. A magnetic field in your reference frame is really just an electric field in the moving charge's reference frame.

Magnetism is a side effect of special relativity: moving charges have length contraction (depending on frame of reference) which makes them appear more/less dense and therefore an attractive/repulsive force. Veritasium on YouTube made a much better explanation: [VIDEO]

Wow, this is the first time I have understood why nothing can go faster than the speed of light and why time dilation is a thing. A very easy to read article, give it a try. Also if you are curious why a moving charge creates a magnetic field watch this Veritasium video: [VIDEO]

Sort of, electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin, electromagnetism, so it's waves in the electromagnetic field with the wire acting as a wave guide. (as far as I understand) Veritasium has a video that goes over this. It was pretty controversial at release but it gives a good overview. [LINK] And why magnets work due to relativity [VIDEO]

I think what GP meant is that (from one viewpoint) magnetism is an emergent property of the electric field and relativity. Here is a simple explanation: [VIDEO]

Another fun fact: Magnetic fields are a consequence of relativity and length contraction of electric fields. [LINK] This video also talks about it: [VIDEO]
