Abstract

The first regular exact black hole solution in general relativity is presented. The source is a nonlinear electrodynamic field satisfying the weak energy condition, which in the limit of weak field becomes the Maxwell field. The solution corresponds to a charged black hole with |q|2scm0.6m, having the metric, the curvature invariants, and the electric field regular everywhere.
