The nucleon electromagnetic form factors {ital G}{sub {ital E}}{sup {ital p}}(q{sup 2}), {ital G}{sub {ital M}}{sup {ital p}}(q{sup 2}), {ital G}{sub {ital M}}{sup {ital n}}(q{sup 2}), and the axial-vector form factor {ital G}{sub {ital A}}(q{sup 2}) are calculated in a simple independent-quark model based on the Dirac equation with a logarithmic confining potential of the form {ital V}{prime}({ital r})=(1+{gamma}{sup 0})a ln({ital r}/{ital b}). The respective rms radii associated with {ital G}{sub {ital E}}{sup {ital p}}(q{sup 2}) and {ital G}{sub {ital A}}(q{sup 2}) come out as ({l angle}{ital r}{sup 2}{r angle}{sub E}{sup P}){sup 1/2}=0.938 fm and {l angle}{ital r}{sub {ital A}}{sup 2}{r angle}{sup 1/2}=0.953 fm. The magnetic moments, charge radii, and axial-vector coupling-constant ratios for octet baryons are also calculated with the appropriate center-of-mass correction. The results so obtained are quite comparable to experimental data.
