  • Abstract
    The well-known equation for the force between two parallel current-carrying conductors is used to show a new application of relativistic principles. The force is considered to to arise from an unbalanced electrostatic interaction between sliding line charges that model current flow. Although the drift velocity of electrons in conductors is extremely slow, the relativistic increase in apparent charge density can account for the force per meter.
