Abstract
Until now, we have considered the fields E and B which are caused by a charge density ϱ and a current density J in a vacuum. In a fluid or in a rigid body, for example, it is necessary to take into consideration all of the electrons and protons of the material in order to calculate the E- and B-fields.
