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.
