Charged anisotropic static cylindrically symmetric models

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate exact solutions of the field equations for charged, anisotropic, static, cylindrically symmetric space–time. We use a barotropic equation of state linearly relating the radial pressure and energy density. The analysis of the matter variables indicates a physically reasonable matter distribution. In the most general case, the central densities correspond to realistic stellar objects in the presence of anisotropy and charge. Finally, we conclude that matter sources are less affected by the electromagnetic field.
