The authors wish to thank L M González-Romero and J A Ruiz-Martln for valuable discussions.A formulation for stationary axisymmetric electromagnetic fields in general relativity is derived by casting them into the form of an anisotropic fluid. Several simplifications of the formalism are carried out in order to analyse different features of the fields, such as the derivation of electromagnetic sources for the Maxwell field in the form of thin layers, construction of new solutions, and generation techniques.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/11/6/014http://iopscience.iop.orgopen access51-73Física-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
