We formulate the external orbital angular momentum of a ''lump'' so that L=r x p on any space-like hyperplane. The systems considered are scalar, spinor and vector fields with e/sup i/..omega..t time dependence, each interacting with its own electromagnetic field. Particular attention is given to cases involving nonzero dipole moments.
