Jun 11, 2022 at 19:02 comment added kricheli What's interesting is that the above is only the classical field, it's missing a Dirac delta distribution. If you were to try and derive it using two charges instead of an ideal magnetic dipole with current density $\vec{j} = -\vec{m} \times \nabla \delta$, you would get the distributional term wrong. See Leung, P.T.; Ni, G.J. On the singularities of the electrostatic and magnetostatic dipole Fields. Eur. J. Phys. 2006.
