A way to discover Maxwell's equations theoretically
Abstract
The Coulomb force, established in the rest frame of a source-charge , when transformed to a new frame moving with a velocity has a form , where and and is the electric field in the rest frame of the source. The quantities and are then manifestly interdependent. We prove that they are determined by Maxwell's equations, so they represent the electric and magnetic fields in the new frame and the force is the well known from experiments Lorentz force. In this way Maxwell's equations may be discovered theoretically for this particular situation of uniformly moving sources. The general solutions of the discovered Maxwell's equations lead us to fields produced by accelerating sources.
