V Foundations of the Macroscopic Electromagnetic Theory of Dielectric Media

Publisher Summary This chapter is concerned with the derivation of the macroscopic Maxwell equations and associated constitutive relations from the underlying microscopic equations describing the dynamics of the constituent particles and the electromagnetic fields created by these particles. In the most general context, these particles are assumed to be electrons and nuclei, bound together in stable groups. For fluid systems, the derivation of the Maxwell equations, but excluding the constitutive relations, has been achieved for an arbitrary state of motion of the atoms on the basis of classical statistical mechanics. The chapter also gives a brief outline of the structure and the equations of macroscopic electrodynamics to establish the notation and the necessary definitions.
