Re: Non-Coulomb forces (was: Batteries)

The classic example is a wire carrying a current.
You observe that the wire is electrically neutral,
so there is no Coulombic force in your frame.

Badly chosen example. In the typical DC circuit, the current is driven by
electrostatic forces from static charge distributions (surface and
otherwise).
