Kaburaki's (1985) self-consistent solution method for three-dimensional stellar wind problems is noted to be exemplified in a nearly corotating inner magnetosphere. Drift motion around the magnetic axis, which is a manifestation of inertial effects, is determined self-consistently with the electromagnetic field, yielding explicit expressions for the energy integral in the rotating frame and for the density distribution. These expressions possess a fundamental length which is to be evaluated according to physical conditions of a magnetosphere, and which determines the asymptotic-kinetic energy of a plasma particle at infinity. The integrated Ohm's law is used to describe a force balance in the rotating frame, in the limits of weak and strong magnetic fields.
