Abstract
A relativistic model is presented for a sphere of charged dust in equilibrium under its own gravitation and electrical repulsion. The mass and radius are arbitrary. Equilibrium configurations of this sort suggest that electric repulsion may be able to halt the gravitational collapse of very large masses.Keywords
