Generalized integral formulation of electromagnetic Cartesian multipole moments

Classical Physics 2013-07-30 v1

Abstract

We study integral expressions of electromagnetic multipole moments of arbitrary order in Cartesian coordinates. The volume and surface integrals of charge-induced and current-induced multipole moment tensors are formulated and the relationship between them is discussed. Full surface integral expressions for the multipole moment are also obtained. We further extend the formulation to introduce another kind of dipole moment, which is similar to the charge-induced and current-induced multipole moments and is found in a vector decomposition formula.
