Abstract
Weyl-type fields are those static electrovac solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell field equations for which the metric component g44 and the electrostatic potential Ψ are related by —g44= 1 — 2cΨ+gY2. In the present paper we investigate the structure of the sources that produce Weyl-type fields. It is found that, if the Weyl relationship holds also inside these sources, then they are structured such that over the extent of the source the ratio of the total mass density to the charge density is equal to the constant c in the Woyl relationship. In our result, the total mass density is that function which, when integrated over the extent of the source, gives the Schwarzschild mass as seen at infinity. It is not equal to the proper mass density — (κ/8π)M44, but is equal to the proper mass density plus the binding energy density.
