Abstract

In this paper, we extend the gravitational bending of light studies in Kottler metrics to comprise nonlinear electrodynamics within the framework of Einstein - power - Maxwell theory. We show that the closest approach distance and the gravitational bending of light are affected from the presence of charge for particular values of the power parameter kk, which is defined by means of energy conditions. It is shown that the bending angle of light is stronger in the case of a strong electric field, which is the case for k=1.2k=1.2.
