Question
Maxwell's equations are as fundamental to electromagnetic phenomena as Newton's laws are to mechanical phenomena. Which of the following statements is correct? With the advent of the special theory of relativity, both Newton's law and Maxwell's equations needed to be modified. With the advent of the special theory of relativity, Maxwell's equations did not need modification. With the advent of the special theory of relativity, only Maxwell's equations needed to be modified. All these statements are incorrect since the theory of relativity introduced by Einstein has nothing to do with electromagnetic phenomena.
