For simplicity however, these effects will be deferred to the discussion of generalized multipole radiation.
2.
In electric multipole radiation, the electric field has a radial component; in magnetic multipole radiation, the magnetic field has a radial component.

4.
In transitions where the change in angular momentum between the initial and final states makes several multipole radiations possible, usually the lowest-order multipoles are overwhelmingly more likely, and dominate the transition.

The designation " " Electric " multipole Radiation " seems appropriate since the major part of that radiation is produced by the charge density in the source; conversely, the " " Magnetic " multipole radiation " is mainly due to the current density of the source.
