Are magnetic fields real, or are they just an illusion? Dive into the fascinating physics of electric fields, magnetism, and Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Discover how time dilation, length contraction, and frames of reference reveal the hidden connection between electricity and magnetism. We’ll explore current-carrying wires, moving charges, and how the magnetic force you thought you knew might be just electric fields in disguise. Ready to challenge everything you know about magnets?
