Abstract
The recent observations indicate that the presence of non-dipolar pulsars magnetic elds.
Post-Newtonian approximation(PN) used in solving Einstein's eld equation in general
relativity was made to derive the much more complicated non-dipolar pulsar magnetic
field. In this work, we analyze the presence of non-dipolar components of the pulsar
magnetic field, as derived from a recent model by Kebede[5]. We will derive both the
dipolar and non dipolar components of the field. We consider the quadrupole and octopole
fields, which result in the non dipolar components of the pulsar's magnetic field
