- . . . direction.3
- Eqs. (12.108)
are for a "boost" in the direction.
This is rather tedious, especially since the result is rather
obvious when you're done, but everyone should do it once
in order to understand that the definition of
is more useful formally (for elegantly expressing the essence
of electromagnetism) than for solving practical problems.

- . . . respectively.4
- In the
moving frame, the plates appear to be moving
in the opposite direction;
thus the current in the positive plate is in the direction
and that in the negative plate is in the direction.
