Abstract

Einstein-Maxwell field equations correspoding to higher dimensional description of static spherically symmetric space-time have been solved under two specific set of conditions, viz., (i) ρ0\rho \ne 0, ν=0\nu^\prime= 0 and (ii) ρ=0\rho=0, ν0 \nu^\prime\ne 0 where ρ\rho and ν\nu represent the mass density and metric potential. The solution sets thus obtained satisfy the criteria of being electromagnetic mass model such that the gravitational mass vanishes for the vanishing charge density σ\sigma and also the space-time becomes flat. Physical features related to other parameters also have been discussed.
