    1) Unlike general relativity, the ratio of charge density to mass density is not constant for equilibrium distributions of charged dust in Brans-Dicke theory. 2) For a spherically symmetric static distribution, neither the square of the charge density nor the ratio of charge density to mass density are constant, though they approach the general relativity values at the origin. 3) For a cylindrically symmetric distribution with rigid rotation, the ratio of charge density to mass density is also not constant, as shown through the field equations.

    Charged dust distributions in equilibrium in Brans-Dicke theory

    (Received 18 November 1977)
    This paper shows that, unlike the case in general relativity, the ratio of charge density to mass density
    does not have a constant value for equilibrium distributions of charged dust in Brans-Dicke theory.
