I'm struggling on my approach to the problem of figuring out E and B fields in a non-relativistic way for a rotating frame of reference in the x-y plane around the z-axis. I am attempting to do this without the use of Tensors:
Consider a particle at rest with respect to the rotating frame. Since there is no velocity there is no force felt from →B′. Do I have to include the pseudo forces in this equation? →F=m→a=q→E′=q(→E+→v×→B)→E′=→E+→v×→B
Additionally, considering a stationary particle in the inertial frame of reference, with pseudo forces included: →F=m→a+m→ω×→v+m→ω×→v+m→ω×→ω×→x=q(→E′+→v×→B′)=q→E
However if I just plug in →E′ into the second equation, →B′ = →B which seems incorrect. Looking at the non-relativistic portions of a Lorentz transformations has →B′ = →B−→v×→E
