Description

Analytical solutions of Maxwell equations in background spacetime of a black hole in a braneworld immersed in an external uniform magnetic field have been found. The influence of both magnetic and brane parameters on the effective potential of the radial motion of a charged test particle around a slowly rotating black hole in a braneworld immersed in a uniform magnetic field has been investigated by using the Hamilton-Jacobi method. An exact analytical solution for dependence of the radius of the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO) rISCO from the brane parameter for the motion of a test particle around a nonrotating isolated black hole in a braneworld has been derived. It has been shown that the radius rISCO is monotonically growing with the increase of the module of the brane tidal charge. A comparison of the predictions on rISCO of the braneworld model and of the observational results of ISCO from relativistic accretion disks around black holes provided the upper limit for the brane tidal charge < or approx. 109 cm2.
