Abstract

In the framework of the Newman-Penrose formalism the electromagnetic field of a general stationary source occurring in the vicinity of a Schwarzschild black hole is obtained in the test-field approximation. The field is expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions (radial parts) and spin-s spherical harmonics (angular parts) both outside and inside the radius at which the source is, located. As examples, the fields of point charges, charged rings, current loops and magnetic dipoles (generally located in non-axisymmetric positions) are calculated.
