Sažetak
In this paper we have resolved the apparent paradox of different mechanical equations for force and torque governing the motion of a charged particle in different inertial frames. The same paradox arises in all usual ``explanations'' of the Trouton-Noble experiment. It is shown that the real cause of the paradoxes is - \emph{; ; the use of three dimensional (3D) quantities}; ; , e.g., $\mathbf{; ; E}; ; $, $\mathbf{; ; B}; ; $, $\mathbf{; ; F}; ; $, $\mathbf{; ; L}; ; $, $% \mathbf{; ; N}; ; $, \emph{; ; their transformations and equations with them.}; ; Instead of using 3D quantities we deal with \emph{; ; 4D geometric quantities, their Lorentz transformations and equations with them}; ; . In such treatment the paradoxes do not appear. The explanation with \emph{; ; 4D geometric quantities}; ; % is in a complete agreement with the principle of relativity and with the Trouton-Noble experiment.
