= Cylindrical multipole moments
{wiki=Cylindrical_multipole_moments}
Cylindrical multipole moments are a mathematical representation used in physics and engineering to describe the distribution of mass, charge, or any other physical quantity in a cylindrical coordinate system. These moments help in analyzing systems with cylindrical symmetry, such as wires, cylinders, or other structures that exhibit similar symmetry properties. \#\#\# Definition and Calculation Cylindrical multipole moments extend the concept of multipole moments, which are generally used to describe the spatial distribution of charges or masses in Cartesian coordinates.
