Abstract
The physical representation of the general double-Reissner-Nordstrom solution is obtained by rewriting the N=2 Breton-Manko-Aguilar electrostatic solution in the Varzugin-Chistyakov parametrization (M_i, Q_i, R). A concise analytical formula is derived for the interaction force between two arbitrary Reissner-Nordstrom constituents, and an example of the equilibrium configuration involving two oppositely charged particles which confirms earlier Bonnor's prediction of the existence of such configurations is given.
