Abstract
In this paper a solution for the interior metric of a uniformly charged static fluid sphere has been obtained. The model sphere obtained has a physically reasonable equation of state. It is found that both the central density and the pressure become infinite whenε=2/5(1+σ). Hereε=m 0/r 0: σ =Q 20 /r 20 m 0,r 0 andQ 0 are, respectively, the mass, radius, and charge of the sphere. In the limitσ→0 the solution becomes identical to the Adler solution.
