But my question is how we justify the answer to this narrowly posed question
in terms of the E&M available in an introductory physics course. Where does
the electric field that the (assumed stationary) proton experiences come
from since there is no time varying magnetic flux from a uniform field?
Is an appeal to a relativistic transform of the field tensor the only
answer? Is it correct that Maxwell's equations alone, with no appeal to
relativity, cannot answer the question?
