Question 07/02 CURRENT IN A WIRE

[Bob Sciamanda <trebor@VELOCITY.NET>]

Here is the reference to the Peters AJP paper:

"In what frame is a current-carrying conductor neutral?", AJP 53 (12), pg
1165, Dec 1985.

This paper will answer many of the concerns being raised - and more that are
going unspoken.  It needs an active, constructive reading - a skim won't do!
