Free charge.
Electric displacement
Maxwells equations in matter divide the net charge Since b = f , (0 E+P) = f , i.e. (D) = f ,
density into free charge f and bound charge b : where D := (0 E + P) is the electric displacement.
= f + b .

Polarization.
t B + E = 0, B = 0,
t E c2 B = J/0 ,
f + b :=
Jf + Jb := J
E = /0 ,
t + J = 0.

macroscopic inhomogenous Maxwell equations
t D H = Jf ,
D = f .
For closure, Maxwell needs you to specify the current. The macro equations are a framework for specifying a closure for a portion of the current: the
bound part.
The generic linear constitutive relation is
D = E,
H = 1 B,
where
=: permittivity ,

in general are functions of time, position, and wave
vector.
The polarization P is minus the electric field due to
bound charges (i.e. the electric field canceled by the
bound charges). D is the electric field due to free
charges. In general,
P = e (0 E),
where e is electric susceptibility. Similarly, magnetic moment is generally given by
M = m H,
