... Here P is the polarization (density of electric dipole moment vectors) and M is the magnetization (density of magnetic dipole moment vectors). We need to know the constitutive relations D = D(E, B) and H = H(E, B), because the fields B and E are the ones which we finally want to determine. We will m ...

Time in physics
Time in physics is defined by its measurement: time is what a clock reads. In classical, non-relativistic physics it is a scalar quantity and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually described as a fundamental quantity. Time can be combined mathematically with other physical quantities to derive other concepts such as motion, kinetic energy and time-dependent fields. Timekeeping is a complex of technological and scientific issues, and part of the foundation of recordkeeping.
