What is another word for multipole moment?
Pronunciation: [mˌʌltɪpˈə͡ʊl mˈə͡ʊmənt] (IPA) 
Multipole moment refers to the distribution of electrical charge or mass over a three-dimensional space. It is a mathematical concept used to measure the strength and distribution of a field in terms of its higher order moments. Some synonyms for multipole moment include electric dipole moment, magnetic dipole moment, electric quadrupole moment, and magnetic quadrupole moment. These terms are used to describe different types of multipole moments based on the number of charges or masses involved and the distance between them. They are central to many branches of physics, including electromagnetism, atomic physics, and particle physics, and have important practical applications, such as in the design of modern communication technologies and medical imaging devices.
