We see that, unlike general relativity where the gravitational force of an infinite and charged line mass acting on a test particle is always repulsive, it can be attractive or repulsive for Brans-Dicke theory depending on the values of the parameters as well as the radial distance from the symmetry axis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrans-Dicke-Maxwell vacuum solutionsCylindrically symmetric spacetimesConformal transformationsArticle41226728510.1007/s10714-008-0667-82-s2.0-59349088615Q1WOS:000263011400003Q2
