test particle (denoting a small object whose mass is too small to contribute appreciably to the ambient gravitational field).

Here, it is useful to know that any Killing vectors which may be present will (in the case of a vacuum solution) automatically satisfy the curved spacetime Maxwell equations.

Note that this procedure amounts to assuming that the electromagnetic field, but not the gravitational field, is "weak". Sometimes
