Abstract
The equations of motion of the polarisation is derived for a relativistic Diracparticle that has an anomalous magnetic moment and an intrinsic electric dipole moment and moves in a macroscopic electromagnetic field. This is done by starting from the well known motion of the polarisation in the restsystem and using relativistic kinematics. The general results are discussed for some special fields.
