Abstract
The electromagnetic energy stored in the magnetic field of an ideal solenoid at rest appears for a moving observer as , a sum of magnetic and electric energies satisfying: . We explain this seemingly paradoxical result calculating the stresses in the solenoid structure and showing that the total energy of the solenoid transforms by the expected relativistic factor .
