The relativistic second-rank tensor containing electric and magnetic polarization vectors of a medium is obtained based on the Maxwell equations and the determination of the charge density and polarization current of a structural microparticle. Using this tensor and the electromagnetic field tensor, the relativistic Lagrangian of the electromagnetic field interaction with the structural microparticle is obtained taking into account the polarization of its structural elements. Using this tensor, the relativistic Lagrangian of electromagnetic field interaction with the structural microparticle has been constructed considering the electric and magnetic polarizabilities.
