Abstract

The equations of motion of a neutral test particle in the field obtained by Wanas (1990) are completely solved. The solution obtained is compared with corresponding solutions in the cases of the Reissner-Nordstrom field, the Kerr field, and the Kerr-Newman field. The comparison shows that the new constant, appeared in the field considered, is connected to electromagnetism and not to spin phenomena.
