Scientific paper

We analyse the concept of active gravitational mass for Reissner-Nordstrom
spacetime in terms of scalar polynomial invariants and the Karlhede
classification. We show that while the Kretschmann scalar does not produce the
expected expression for the active gravitational mass, both scalar polynomial
invariants formed from the Weyl tensor, and the Cartan scalars, do.
