Abstract

The paper presents a family of stationary cylindrically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations corresponding to a charged dust distribution in rigid rotation. The interesting feature of the solution is that the Lorentz force vanishes everywhere and the ratio of the charge density and mass density may assume arbitrary value. The solutions do not seem to have any classical analogue.
