Abstract

We investigate the properties of a static, cylindrically symmetric Majumdar-Papapetrou-type solution of Einstein-Maxwell equations. We locate its singularities, establish its algebraic type, find its asymptotic properties and weakfield limit, study the structure of electrogeodesics, and determine the mass and charge of its sources.

We provide an interpretation of the spacetime and discuss the parameter appearing in the metric.
