Why black holes can have static electric fields?

The gravitation of black hole is so strong that nothing can escape from it !

Why black holes can have static electric fields around with it?

Thank you in advance！

Nothing can escape from inside the event horizon. Objects outside the horizon can and do escape.

Why do you assume that the charges have passed through to the event horizon? A Schwarzschild observer would reckion infalling charges to come to rest just outside the event horizon and therefore the field wouldn't have to escape from it since it was never there.

I'm sure there are better explanations around for charged objects which collapse into a black hole. I'd like to hear about such a case myself.

Chris Hillman was giving me some useful links regarding black holes. See this thread:

I'm afraid I haven't read the Kerr paper yet, my pile of "interesting reading material" is a foot high.

I share your interest, Pete. I've been thinking about it a lot. Yes, there's a lot going on in an accretion disk, with a massive magnetic flux. But if the black hole is just sitting there in vacuum, I just can't see how a black hole can have any charge at all. The very concept of a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is giving me big problems. So I'll join the line forming behind magnetar's original question.
 

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread 'Relativator (Circular Slide-Rule): Simulated with Desmos - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
