Abstract
A microscopic quantum electrodynamic model of a linear medium consisting of discrete quantized electric and magnetic dipoles is used to derive Maxwell equations of motion for macroscopic fields. It is found that the material properties of a linear medium are carried in the sum of the vacuum, electric, and magnetic susceptibilities.
