The definitions of D and H are:
##D=\epsilon_0 E+P##
##H=B/\mu_0-M####P=\epsilon_0 \chi E##
##M=\chi H##
I was wondering, if E and B are the fundamental field relating to all charges/currents, why is the definition of the polarisation the opposite for each of them? So why is H in the definition of M and not B, when B is the actual physical field.
Thanks
