Problem

Electric field of intensity E of charges moving with velocity v, creates a mag- →\rightarrow− →\rightarrow− netic field, the induction of which is B = K[v ×\times E]. The coefficient K is 253 equal to µ ε\varepsilon in SI and 1 in CGS, where c is the speed of light. Prove that 0 0 c the magnetic interaction of two moving charges is weaker than their electric interaction.
