Abstract

A method is presented which enables one to obtain solutions to the stationary axially symmetric Brans-Dicke fields coupled to source-free Maxwell fields from the solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations in Einstein's theory. The Brans-Dicke analog of the Kerr-Newman solution has been obtained as an example.
