Paradox in special relativity involving capacitor
In the laboratory reference frame (LRF), a horizontally moving (with constant speed) flat capacitor would have a different size of plates therefore resulting in different capacity $C'$, namely
$$
C' = ...

What does a relativistically moving capacitor "look" like? [duplicate]
Suppose I have a parallel plate capacitor with a vacuum between the plates, a voltage $V$ across them and a capacitance of $C$.
What will this arrangement look like to an observer in a uniformly ...

Where's the energy in a boosted capacitor?
Suppose I look at a parallel plate capacitor in its rest frame and calculate the electrostatic energy, $E$.
Next, I look at the same capacitor in a primed frame boosted in the direction perpendicular ...
