LETTERS AND COMMENTS: Electrostatic charges in v × B fields: with or without special relativity?
Abstract
In relation to Bringuier's paper (2003 Eur. J. Phys. 24 21), it is pointed out that one cannot always neglect relativistic effects at low velocities. Also, some flaws are identified in his analysis of fields and charges in the case of a circular loop rotating in a constant magnetic field.
