Abstract
The description of magnetism in terms of moving electric charges rather than in terms of magnetic poles reduces both the number of experimental laws upon which the theory is based and the number of new quantities defined. Certain sources of confusion are discussed and an elementary description is developed which permits a clearer visualization of the process of magnetization than does the pole theory and which is, in certain respects, less confusing. Emphasis is placed on the distinctions between the electric fields, E and D, and the magnetic fields, B and H, and their relative importance. The definitions are chosen so as to give each of these four quantities simple physical meaning.
