Solutions of Einstein's field equations for charged static fluid spheres (Q1209107)

Due to nonlinearity of Einstein-Maxwell equations exact solutions are difficult to obtain. In order to solve this system of equations, it is necessary to specify, in some manner, the unknowns or to introduce extra relation between them. In this paper we have obtained exact solutions for the spherically-symmetric charged fluid distribution by the method of quadratures making a specific choice of metric functions and total charge. Our work extends the method of \textit{S. S. Bayin} [Phys. Rev. 18, No. 8, 2745-2751 (1978)] to the case of charged fluids. Finally, the solutions are matched with exterior Reissner-Nordström solution.
