Exact physical Maxwell-Einstein Tolman-VII solution and its use in stellar models

We derive an exact Maxwell-Einstein metric for a spherically symmetric static perfect fluid with mass and charge (Q), that electrifies the Tolman-VII metric and meets applicable physical boundary conditions. We show that there is more than one way to electrify any Q=0 metric, depending on whether metric component g (tt) , g (rr) , or neither, is independent of Q. We illustrate an approach not yet in the literature in which g (rr) is independent of Q. When applied to a baryonic stellar model, this metric is versatile, capable of producing a range of values for radius, mass, Q, and far-field mass due to the presence of charge.
