    It is proved that (1) electromagnetic fields with electric and magnetic components parallel to one another are solutions of Maxwell's equations; (2) the equation \(B\wedge (\nabla \wedge B)=0\) (B is the magnetic field) is gauge and relativistically-invariant for systems of reference moving with velocity \(v/c=E\wedge B(1+v^ 2/c^ 2)/(E^ 2+B^ 2)\).
