# Effect of power-law Maxwell field to the gravitational lensing

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how nonlinear electrodynamics, modeled by the power-law Maxwell field, influences gravitational lensing, revealing that electric charge and field strength can significantly modify light bending near massive objects.

## Contribution

It extends gravitational lensing analysis to Einstein-power-Maxwell theory, showing the impact of nonlinear electromagnetic fields on light deflection.

## Key findings

- Bending angle increases with stronger electric fields.
- Charge affects the closest approach distance of light.
- Nonlinear electrodynamics alters gravitational lensing predictions.

## Abstract

In this paper, we extend the gravitational bending of light studies in Kottler metrics to comprise nonlinear electrodynamics within the framework of Einstein - power - Maxwell theory. We show that the closest approach distance and the gravitational bending of light are affected from the presence of charge for particular values of the power parameter $k$, which is defined by means of energy conditions. It is shown that the bending angle of light is stronger in the case of a strong electric field, which is the case for $k=1.2$.
