pendicular to the plates
### Solution
We start analysing Rest frame S'
In the system S' the solenoid is at rest:
−
The solenoid is "long and flat": its turns define a plane; the magnetic moment \$mathbf{M} $is perpendicular to that plane (normal direction). Let us take $\mathbf{M}' = M\,\hat{\mathbf{z}}$
−
$There is no electric moment$\mathbf{p}' = 0$.
