    Reissner-Nordström black holes have zero angular momentum.

    Black holes can be characterized by three (and only three) quantities, its

    * mass M (called a Schwarzschild black hole if it has no angular momentum and no electric charge),

    * angular momentum J (called a Kerr black hole if it has no charge), and

    * electric charge Q (charged black hole or Reissner-Nordström black hole if the angular momentum is zero or a Kerr-Newman black hole if it has both angular momentum and electric charge).
