Abstract: | We determine the probability distribution for the field inside a random distribution of electric or magnetic dipoles. Although the average contribution from any spherical shell around the probe position vanishes, at the center of a spherical distribution of parallel dipoles, the Levy stable distribution of the field is symmetric around a nonvanishing field amplitude. Omission of contributions from a small volume around the probe leads to a field distribution with a vanishing mean, which, in the limit of vanishing excluded volume, converges to the shifted distribution. |
