Abstract: We study the matching of a general spherically symmetric spacetime with a Vaidya-Reissner-Nordstrom solution. To that end, we study the properties of spherically symmetric electromagnetic fields and develop the proper gravitational and electromagnetic junction conditions. We prove that generic spacetimes can be matched to a Vaidya-Reissner-Nordstrom solution or one of its specializations, and that these matchings have clear physical interpretations. Furthermore, the non-spacelike nature of the matching hypersurface is proved under very general hypotheses. We obtain the fundamental result that any spherically symmetric body, be it in evolution or not, has un upper limit for the total net electric charge that carries.
