Abstract
We give a class of exact solutions of the five-dimensional (Kaluza-Kle in) equations of general relativity, identify the mass and electric ch arge of the source and solve the geodesic equation for the motion of a charged test particle. There are interesting differences between char ged black holes in four and five dimensions that could, in principle, be used to test the dimensionality of the world.
