Abstract
According to the principle of relativity, the electric intensity induced in a wire moving with a velocity v with respect to a magnet at rest, generating a magnetic potential A at the wire?s location, must be equal to the intensity induced in the case where the wire is at rest and the magnet moves with velocity -v. This paper argues that this is not true; the electric intensity induced in the first case is v x (del x A), while that in the second case is -(v dot del) A.
