    This paper deals with the energy-momentum tensor field of a charged point mass given by the Reissner-Nordstøm solution. The author obtains energy values in the following two cases: (a) The energy of a charged point mass when the charge has the same absolute value as the geometric mass. (b) A particular case where the geometric mass is negligible relative to the electric charge. Finally, the author suggests that his particular results should be extended to the full general case.
