Abstract
The black hole solutions in the higher dimensional Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory are investigated. We find that the presence of the nontrivial scalar field depends on the spacetime dimensions (D). When D=4, the solution corresponds to the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole with a constant scalar field. In higher dimensions (D>4), one finds the charged black hole solutions with the nontrivial scalar field. The thermal properties of the charged black holes are discussed and the reason why the nontrivial scalar field exists are explained. Also the solutions for higher dimensional Brans-Dicke theory are given for comparison.
