Abstract

Maxwell fields in static axially symmetric space-time are discussed. A new method for generating the Weyl class as well as a more general class of electromagnetic fields is outlined. It has been shown that by the same procedure a new class of Maxwell fields can be generated which are not of Weyl type. A particular solution of this class is derived which represents an asymptotically flat gravitational field of a body possessing an electric or magnetic dipole moment. At large distances and in the case of a vanishing dipole parameter, the gravitational field goes over to the Schwarzschild field.
