Abstract
A study is developed for treating Einstein-Maxwell's equations, applied to a static perfect fluid sphere with charge, in a such a manner to generalize the Oppenheimer and Volkoff hydrostatic equilibrium equation.
We suggest reasons which could make the generalization of this equation inapplicable. It is shown that Einstein-Maxwell's equations predict such special solutions.
