The electric and magnetic fields of an elementary charge are universally associated with the charge as that charge moves through the void of the classical vacuum. The present paper, however, makes the four-fold argument that: 1) the Planck vacuum (PV), as opposed to the classical vacuum, is polarizable; 2) the only field associated with the charge is a bare, or unscreened, Coulomb field; 3) the magnetic and Faraday fields are PV responses to charge movement; and 4) the Maxwell equations owe their existence to PV polarizability. The Lorentz transformation can be deduced from the results.
