Axial multipole moments are a set of mathematical quantities used in physics, particularly in the study of electric and magnetic fields generated by charge and current distributions, respectively. They extend the concept of multipole expansions, which represent how a distribution of charges or currents influences the field at large distances from the source. 1. **Multipole Moments**: In general, multipole moments classify the behavior of the electric or magnetic field generated by a distribution as a function of distance from the source.
