In a multipole expansion in electrostatics, how do we select the origin? For instance, if there is a linear continuous distribution of charge +Q (say from x=−a to x=+a). Is there any rule such as: midpoint (z = Zero in this case). For opposite charges does it have to be the centre of the charge distribution where effective charge = zero?
