Relativity and gravitational theory Exact solutions Concept
Electrovacuum solution
Summary
An electrovacuum solution is a spacetime whose only source of gravity is an electromagnetic field with no charges or currents present. The metric and the field together solve the Einstein field equations and the source-free Maxwell equations. It is the next simplest kind of exact solution after a vacuum solution. The Reissner–Nordström metric and the Kerr–Newman metric are the best known examples.
