We present solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations in
spherically symmetric gravitational fields for static interior spacetimes with
a specified form of the electric field intensity. The condition of pressure
isotropy yields three category of solutions. The first category is expressible
in terms of elementary functions and does not have an uncharged limit. The
second category is given in terms of Bessel functions of half-integer order.
These charged solutions satisfy a barotropic equation of state and contain
Finch-Skea uncharged stars. The third category is obtained in terms of modified
Bessel functions of half-integer order and does not have an uncharged limit.
The physical features of the charged analogue of the Finch-Skea stars are
studied in detail. In particular the condition of causality is satisfied and
the speed of sound does not exceed the speed of light. The physical analysis
indicates that this analogue is a realistic model for static charged
relativistic perfect fluid spheres.Comment: 17 pages, To appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
