Scientific paper

The structure of a stationary axisymmetric force-free magnetosphere of a Kerr black hole, and the hole's evolution due to extraction of rotational energy by the Blanford-Znajek process is examined. It is proposed that there is an 'effective' ergoregion inside the static-limit surface where the densities of 'energy at infinity' and angular momentum off the field are negative. In the outer half of the charged magnetosphere, a pulsar-type centrifugal slingshot wind blows outward, whereas in the inner half, a similar centrifugal slingshot wind blows inward.
