17. In the standard model of superparamagnetic particles all of the spins are aligned. In this case the point dipole approximation is exact for spherical particles because of the symmetry of solutions to Laplaces equation: the average field in a spherical domain around the center of a particle is equal to the field at the center of a particle. Thus the magnetostatic energy of a superparamagnetic sphere in a field is exactly expressed in terms of its dipole moment. Multipolar moments do not exist.
