Ideal axisymmetric pulsar magnetosphere is calculated from the standard stationary force-free equation but with a new boundary condition at the equator. The new solution predicts Ohmic heating. About 50% of the Poynting power is dissipated in the equatorial current layer outside the light cylinder, with about 10% dissipated between 1 and 1.5 light cylinder radii. The Ohmic heat presumably goes into radiation, pair production, and acceleration of charges -- in an unknown proportion.
