Abstract

Møller's theory on the concept of energy and its localization in general relativity is applied to calculate the energy of the interior and exterior Schwarzschild fields. It is found that the energy is equal to the (Newtonian) gravitational mass of the material system associated with the fields and that all the energy resides wholly in the material system.
