Abstract
A new solution of Einstein-Maxwell field equations is presented. The material content of the field described by this solution is a perfect fluid plus sourceless electromagnetic fields. The metric of the solution is explicitly written. This metric is examined as a possible representation of Kerr-Newman metric embedded in Einstein static universe. The Kerr-Newman metric in the background of Robertson-Walker universe is also briefly described.
