dc.descriptionWe examine the large-$N_c$ relations which express the electromagnetic $N$-to-$Δ$ transition quantities in terms of the electromagnetic properties of the nucleon. These relations are based on the known large-$N_c$ relation between the $N\to Δ$ electric quadrupole moment and the neutron charge radius, and a newly derived large-$N_c$ relation between the electric quadrupole ($E2$) and Coulomb quadrupole ($C2$) transitions. Extending these relations to finite, but small, momentum transfer we find that the description of the electromagnetic $N\toΔ$ ratios ($R_{EM}$ and $R_{SM}$) in terms of the nucleon form factors predicts a structure which may be ascribed to the effect of the ``pion cloud''. These relations also provide useful constraints for the $N \to Δ$ generalized parton distributions.
