14.3.7∗. a. When moving at the speed $\vec{\beta c}$ of a state in which there was only an electric field, a magnetic field with induction $\vec{B}$ arises , associated with the new electric field $\vec{E}$ by the relation $\vec{B} = [\vec{\beta} \times \vec{E}]$. Prove this relation in the case when the old $\vec{E}$ is perpendicular to the velocity $\vec{\beta c}$
b. What magnetic field occurs when the electric field of intensity $\vec{E}$ moves at the speed $\beta c$ if, $\beta = 1$?
Solution
a) In the moving frame there is no magnetic field, only an electric field. But in the Earth frame there are an electric field $\vec{E}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. To prove the relation we will use the Lorentz transformation of the magnetic field to calculate the magnetic field in the moving frame; this is zero:
Where $\hat{\beta}$ is the unit vector in the direction of velocity. The magnetic field will be zero when the velocity is parallel to the electric field.
