The potential interaction energy of a cubic lattice of aligned polarized spheroids, of a random assembly of aligned polarized spheroids, and of a random assembly of arbitrary particles is calculated making use of the "effective-field approach." In particular the dependence of the energy on the packing density of the particles is considered. Only systems polarized to saturation are treated.
