Abstract
An exact solution of the field equations of general relativity is obtained for a static, spherically symmetric distribution of charge and mass. Their physical properties are studied in some detail. Our solution includes as special cases the results given previously by Cooperstock and De La Cruz, Mehra and Bohra, Santos, and Shi-Chang.
