Studies on single scattering of electromagnetic waves by magnetic particles were reported in the 1980s by Kerker et al. [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 73, 765 (1983)] . They obtained that very small spherical particles with electric permittivity and magnetic permeability values such that $\epsilon =(4-\mu )∕(2\mu +1)$ do not produce forward scattering. We show here that this condition contains an interesting exception at ( $\epsilon =-2$ , $\mu =-2$ ) when electric and magnetic resonances are present and around which the scattered field distribution is computed and described showing a polarization-insensitive behavior at the point ( $\epsilon =-2$ , $\mu =-2$ ).
