Abstract

Coordinates adapted to the full electrostatic symmetries of a charged axially symmetric static system are constructed and applied to the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations. A new solution is presented and the framework for general solutions is developed. The Weyl solutions g00(Φ) are readily extracted from the formalism.
