Abstract

One of the formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden for general relativity suggests defining geometric sources for electromagnetic fields that are inextricably involved in underlying spin curvatures. It is shown explicitly that such fields must bear nullity whenever a formal continuity equation is effectively implemented.
