The Lorentz Transformation is a transformation between different coordinate systems. Namely, it allows one to transform the cartesian coordinate system of a stationary reference frame to another cartesian coordinate system of a reference frame that is moving with constant velocity [math]\displaystyle{ v\lt math\gt with respect to the stationary reference frame. ==The Main Idea== State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic Electric Field of Capacitor ===A Mathematical Model=== What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example \lt math\gt {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
