Abstract

The general solution to Einstein‐Maxwell equations with plane symmetry is obtained. This solution has an extra Killing vector ξ^a not assumed a priori. The solution may be classified in two classes depending on the sign of an integration constant. The first class depends only on the time; ξ^a is spacelike. In the second class ξ^a is spacelike, lightlike, and timelike in different regions like Schwarzschild's metric.
