Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

As measured by observers in a reference frame S, a particle having charge q moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B and an electric field E. The resulting force on the particle is then measured to be F = q(E + v × B). Another observer moves along with the charged particle and measures its charge to be q also but measures the electric field to be E′. If both observers are to measure the same force, F, show that E′ = E + v × B.
