In this video, I show you how to solve the Einstein field equations for the Reissner-Nordstrom metric.

I realize that there is an index labeling error in the formulas for the Faraday tensor. The index labels on the second term need to be reversed. None of the errors were carried over into the actual calculation, so everything else is valid. Also, given that the Christoffel symbol is symmetric under interchange of its two lower indices, the Christoffel terms still vanish in the generally covariant version.
11/15/2023 There is another way to argue that the vector potential should still just be that of an ordinary point charge. The 1/r^2 behavior of the resulting electric field is necessary to maintain charge conservation.
