Abstract

The electromagnetic field of a general stationary source, occurring in the vicinity of a rotating (Kerr) black hole, is obtained by solving the Maxwell and Teukolsky equations. The field is expressed 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 not necessarily located in axisymmetric positions are calculated. The electromagnetic field occurring when a Kerr black hole is placed in an originally uniform magnetic field is derived without assuming the alignment of the direction of the magnetic field and the axis of symmetry of the black hole.
