A class of static weyl solutions for the Brans-Dicke Maxwell fields

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

Considering the static axially symmetric metric ofWeyl and then using a result obtained byPerjés, a generalized relation between theg 44 component of the metric tensor, the electrostatic (or magnetostatic in view ofPerjés result) potential and the Brans-Dicke (BD) scalar field has been obtained for the BD Maxwell fields when both electric and magnetic fields are present. Further, using this relation, a theorem has been given at the end which enables one to generate the BD Maxwell solutions from the known solutions of the BD vacuum fields.
