Abstract
- We discuss the relativistic transformation of the energy of a charged spherical capacitor. The energy stored in the electromagnetic fields observed by an uniformly moving frame is related to that of the rest frame by a factor different from $\gamma $. Considering the energy and the stresses in the capacitor shells we show that the total energy of the system satisfies the expected relativistic transformation.<br />Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures
