Equivalence principle for charged bodies in a theory of gravitation

The motion of a test body made of electromagnetically interacting point particles, falling in the static spherically symmetric field of the Hermitian theory of gravitation is shown to not disagree with the Eötvös–Dicke–Braginsky experiments for the equivalence principle. The modified Maxwell equations are calculated in the isotropic static spherically symmetric metric, and the role of the equivalence principle in the new theory is discussed in detail.
