Spherical multipole moments
ID: spherical-multipole-moments
Spherical multipole moments are mathematical constructs used to describe the distribution of charge, mass, or other physical quantities in a system, particularly in the field of electromagnetism and gravitational fields. They extend the concept of electric or gravitational moments beyond the traditional dipole, quadrupole, and higher-order moments to capture more complex arrangements.
