- Description
- We derive the Teixeira, Wolk and Som method [1], for obtaining electrostatic solutions from given vacuum solutions, in its inverse form. Then we use it to obtain the geometrical mass $M_S$ in the Schwarzschild spacetime, and we find $M^2_S=M^2-Q^2$, where $M$ and $Q$ are, respectively, the mass and charge parameters of the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime. We compare $M_S$ to the corresponding active gravitational mass and mass function.
