About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Stefan Nanz investigates the necessity for threemultipole families in classical electrodynamics. He shows that by imposingsymmetry and parity constraints, it is sufficient to deal with only twomultipole families. This implies that the toroidal multipole moments do notrepresent an independent multipole family, and they only emerge in the long-wavelength limit.

About this title

Synopsis

Stefan Nanz investigates the necessity for three multipole families in classical electrodynamics. He shows that by imposing symmetry and parity constraints, it is sufficient to deal with only two multipole families. This implies that the toroidal multipole moments do not represent an independent multipole family, and they only emerge in the long-wavelength limit.
