The acceleration of particles and the production of high-energy radiation in pulsar magnetospheres is the result of electric field components parallel to the magnetic field. The production of pulsar radiation, therefore, implies that the ideal MHD condition E*B = 0 is not satisfied at least in parts of the magnetosphere. In this paper, we present the magnetic and electric field structures as well as the currents and charge densities associated with pulsar magnetospheres where the ideal MHD condition is replaced by a variety of prescriptions concerning the values of the electric field component parallel to the magnetic field. The association of pulsar high energy observations to models for the production of high-energy radiation from non-ideal MHD pulsar magnetospheres will delineate the main physical parameters of the system.
