The magnetic field due to a given current distribution, the interaction energy of a current distribution with an arbitrary external magnetic field, and the magnetostatic interaction energy between two current distributions are decomposed into multipolar components using spherical harmonic expansions. Diamagnetic interactions and the spin contributions to the multipole expansions are also discussed.
