Abstract

The dynamics of a charged spinning test particle in general relativity is studied in the context of gravitoelectromagnetism. Various families of test observers and supplementary conditions are examined. The spin-gravity-electromagnetism coupling is investigated for motion in the background of a Reissner-Nordström black hole both in the exact spacetime and in the weak-field approximation. Results are compared with those of the theory.
