Abstract
A formula is derived for the mass of a black hole as a function of its "irreducible mass," its angular momentum, and its charge. It is shown that 50% of the mass of an extreme charged black hole can be converted into energy as contrasted with 29% for an extreme rotating black hole.Keywords
