Abstract
Some general features of the behaviour of fields and particles around extreme (or nearly extreme) black holes are outlined, with an emphasis on their simplicity. In particular, simple solutions representing interacting electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of an extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole are presented. As an application, the motion of the hole in an asymptotically uniform weak electric field is examined and “Newton's second law” is so explicitly verified for a geometrodynamical object.
