In connection with the photodisintegration of the deuteron and similar problems, the parts of the interaction energy which are mainly independent of questions concerned with mesonic exchange currents are separated from those affected by the exchange character of nuclear forces The direct introduction of the intensity of magnetization $$\frac{u}{M}$$ is shown to be unnecessary, the current density associated with nucleonic magnetic moments accounting for effects often represented by the formal introduction of $$\frac{c}{M}$$. Transformations of field strengths leading to an equivalent formulation using $$\frac{c}{M}$$ are devised. The considerations are in terms of the irreducible tensor classification of the multipoles. No explicit use of gauge invariance has to be made. The entrance of limitations caused by electromagnetic form factors is located. The simplifications caused by employing the non-retarded approximation have been studied, although the treatment in its general form does not employ this approximation.
