Abstract
The physical representation of the general double–Reissner–Nordström solution is obtained by rewriting the Bretón–Manko–Aguilar electrostatic metric in the Varzugin–Chistyakov parametrization . A concise analytical formula is derived for the interaction force between two arbitrary Reissner–Nordström constituents, and an example of the equilibrium configuration involving two oppositely charged particles which confirms earlier Bonnor’s prediction of the existence of such configurations is given.
