Consideration is given to the creation of electron-positron plasma near the surface dividing regions with opposite signs of the charge density in the stationary, axial-symmetric, force-free magnetosphere of a rotating black hole. It is shown that this surface exists whenever the Blandford-Znajek process of extracting energy from the black hole takes place. Kinetic equations describing inverse Compton scattering of background photons on the particles accelerated by the longitudinal electric field and the creation of pairs by gamma quanta formed in collisions with background photons are presented. A dependence of the plasma creation region on longitudinal electric current in the magnetosphere is found.
