The exact relativistic treatment is given of the Ferraro‐Rosenbluth cold plasma sheath model, and is compared with the nonrelativistic solution given previously by Sestero. It is found that the anomalous solution obtained by Sestero, namely, the fact that the ions turn back before the electrons, persists in the relativistic treatment although the ion stream and electron stream are separated in space. As in the Sestero solution it is found that the over‐all charge in the sheath is not in general zero. Numerical illustrations are given for the case when the velocities are comparable with the velocities encountered in the solar wind.
